Inside Line Promotions – OHSWEKEN, Ontario, Canada (Sept. 23, 2015) – The 11th annual Canadian Sprint Car Nationals was anything but pleasant for Joe Trenca.

“It went terrible,” he said. “I love that event so much and it’s such a fun weekend. It’s frustrating to have a finish like we did. That’s part of racing though.”

Trenca’s weekend at Ohsweken Speedway ended early after he was involved in a wild crash, which destroyed the Mucci Motorsports sprint car last Friday during the opening leg of the doubleheader.

“On Friday we timed second in our group and we were really good in the heat race,” he said. “We finished fourth, but first through third place were right in front of us.”

Trenca’s fourth-place result locked him into the main event. But first he competed in the Kevin Ward Jr. Young Stars Challenge.

“We started 10th and were up to sixth or seventh about two laps in when the left rear torsion arm broke,” he said. “The car snapped around and I got hit by a couple of guys. We flipped a couple of times.”

Trenca ended with a 12th-place result in the race and he was unable to start that night’s main event, in which he was credited with a 15th-place finish.

“We worked all night to get it fixed,” he said. “We replaced everything but the seat and the motor. Saturday morning we went to square up the rear end and stuff wasn’t adding up right. We put some levels on the frame and we realized the frame was tweaked so we couldn’t race.”

The team rebuilt a car this week to prepare for a Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints event this Friday at Fonda Speedway in Fonda, N.Y.
