Inside Line Promotions – FULTON, N.Y. (June 9, 2015) – Joe Trenca will make his UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions debut this Thursday at Canandaigua Motorsports Park in Canandaigua, N.Y.
“We’re excited,” he said. “I like Canandaigua. It’s a racy track with a top and a bottom. I’m excited to race with the All Stars, too. Hopefully we can come out of there with a top 10.”
Trenca has limited experience at the half-mile oval, but the Mucci Motorsports driver recorded a career-best seventh-place result in 2013. Thursday’s race will be the only one on the schedule as Trenca is set to graduate from high school on Saturday.
“It will be a big weekend,” he said.
Trenca scored a pair of top 15s last weekend with the Patriot Sprint Tour. He kicked off the doubleheader last Friday by making his debut at Ransomville Speedway in Ransomville, N.Y.
“We were under a two-hour rain delay and then they worked the track in pretty good,” he said. “The curb was very high and it was fast up there. There was still a lot of slop on the bottom so it was a very narrow track. We were only able to make up a couple of positions. We had a fast car, but it was a narrow track.”
Trenca, who finished fifth in a heat race, advanced from 14th to 12th during the main event on the quick track.
The weekend concluded on Saturday at Fulton Speedway, where Trenca powered from seventh to fourth place in a heat race. That earned him a spot in the feature redraw where he pulled the No. 2 to line up on the outside of the front row for the main event.
“We just took a bad read on the track,” he said. “It blew off within two laps and that hurt us a lot. I was in the top four for four or five laps. Then the guys who knew what was going to happen started picking me off.”
Trenca struggled on the slick track and ended with a 13th-place result.
“That was the slickest track we’ve seen all year,” he said. “We knew where we messed up and how we can get better. We’ve been doing decent lately so it does suck to give up a great starting position, but we know what we did wrong.”
