Inside Line Promotions – SELINSGROVE, Pa. (April 25, 2018) – Joe Trenca capped last weekend with a solid outing on Sunday at Selinsgrove Speedway, which marked his 410ci winged sprint car season debut after a mechanical problem sidelined the team the previous weekend.
“I was really happy just to get some laps in our 410,” he said. “I like the car and feel more comfortable in it than last year. It really makes me look forward to the rest of the year as we learn and develop.”
The event began with the Mucci Motorsports driver timing in 16th quickest in qualifying. He then finished where he started – sixth – in a heat race to line up on the inside of the 10th row for the A Main.
“We made gains throughout the night,” he said. “The biggest thing is that I got comfortable in the race car and we moved forward.”
Trenca advanced from 19th to a 13th-place result, which was tied for his second-best finish in the 410 class during his career.
Last weekend began the previous night at Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, N.Y., where Trenca qualified second quickest in his group. He placed fourth in a heat race and started the main event on the outside of the fifth row.
“It was a day show and was so dusty,” he said. “It was tough to see anything. I got hit and spun in turn one on the start. I ended up hitting someone, too. It was just really tough to see so after about two laps I pulled in.”
Trenca was credited with a 19th-place finish.
He will return to Central Pennsylvania this weekend for 410 races on Friday at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg and on Saturday at Port Royal Speedway in Port Royal.
“I’m excited to get back to Williams Grove,” he said. “I haven’t been there in a while. And I love Port Royal. We just want to get more laps with this new car. By getting more seat time in the 410 in Central Pennsylvania I’m happy and I think our team is moving forward.”
