Inside Line Promotions – SELINSGROVE, Pa. (April 28, 2015) – Joe Trenca went to Plan B last weekend in an effort to race.
Trenca and the Mucci Motorsports team elected to head to Selinsgrove Speedway for a race on Saturday after the scheduled events in New York were cancelled because of rain.
Unfortunately, the heat race got off to a rough start for Trenca.
“We were up to third going into turn one and somebody just came down and chopped us pretty hard,” he said. “I brushed the inside wall. I lost so much momentum it was hard to gain it back. That screwed us up for a good starting spot in the feature.”
Trenca ended with a seventh-place result, which lined him up on the outside of the 10th row for the main event.
“We got rolling well right around the top and the middle,” he said. “We were really, really good on restarts. I picked off two cars on each restart. After that I would keep my momentum up around the top and a lot of guys in the middle of the pack were running the bottom.”
Trenca began reeling in the drivers in the top 10 at the end of the race, but he ran out of laps.
“If we had a late caution I think we could have got a top 10,” he said. “We had a setup we really like in the car. It handles really well. As a driver I’ve learned a few points of what to do and what not to do. I’m excited for this weekend.”
Trenca will return to Selinsgrove Speedway this Saturday for a race with the United Racing Club. He’ll wrap up the weekend on Sunday at Susquehanna Speedway Park in Newberrytown, Pa., where he finished 16th last year during his only race at the track.
“We ran our 360 against the 410s and the 410 guys are so good,” he said. “I was pretty pleased with our showing. I really liked it there. It’s a track that I adapted to easily.”
