Inside Line Promotions – NEWBERRYTOWN, Pa. (May 5, 2015) – Joe Trenca had a great start and finish to last weekend.

Unfortunately, the middle portion of a doubleheader with the United Racing Club didn’t align with the Mucci Motorsports team, which kicked off the weekend by qualifying sixth quickest at Selinsgrove Speedway in Selinsgrove, Pa., last Saturday.

“After qualifying so well I thought it was going to be a really good night,” he said. “We didn’t have the car very good in the heat race and then had the bleeder stick in the right rear during the B Main.”

Trenca finished sixth in both his heat race and the B Main to miss a transfer by only two positions.

“It was kind of a disappointing night, but we found some things early Sunday as we did maintenance that really worked against us Saturday night,” he said.

The team ventured to Susquehanna Speedway Park on Sunday, when Trenca opened the race by maneuvering from seventh to fourth place in a heat race. That lined him up on the inside of the eighth row for the main event.

“On the first start someone drove right into the side of me,” he said. “It about turned me around and drove me into two cars. Two laps later we had a caution and somebody spun me on the restart. We had a flat left rear so we went to the pits, changed it and came back out.”

Trenca rallied from the back to post a 15th-place result to cap the weekend.

“Sunday was a little rough, but considering the circumstances it came out ok,” he said.

Trenca and his team will take this weekend off before returning to competition on May 16 at Selinsgrove Speedway in Selinsgrove, Pa., with the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints and May 17 at Weedsport Speedway in Weedsport, N.Y., with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series.

“We’re going to regroup and make sure we have everything in line for a couple of big races coming up,” he said.
