PUYALLUP, Wash. — Trey Starks is heading south this weekend to start his season.
Starks will be behind the wheel of a second Scelzi Motorsports sprint car on Friday and Saturday at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., during the Dennis Roth Classic with the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series.
“I’m really excited to get our season underway and to get a chance to race with the Scelzi Family,” he said. “The Dennis Roth Classic is a marquee event and it worked out great that I am able to race it in great equipment.”
Starks captured his first career NARC 410 Sprint Car Series feature victory last season during a banner year when he earned a career-best 12 victories in 24 races to go along with his first career track championship at Skagit Speedway.
“We plan on a similar schedule this year as last year and hopefully can produce similar success,” he said. “I know the races this weekend will feature great competition so hopefully we can be fast from the first time I climb in the car.”
Starks last raced at Thunderbowl Raceway in October 2017 during the Trophy Cup.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve raced in California and several years since I’ve ran in Tulare,” he said. “It’s definitely a tricky track, but I’m optimistic going into this weekend.”
