Trey Starks

Even though he’s more than happy about the overall results, it’s hard to not imagine would could have been.

Trey Starks went to Oregon looking for momentum and that’s exactly what he discovered.

It’s frustrating enough to have an engine expire. But when it happens to take away a top five, it’s down right aggravating.

Trey Starks let out a giant sigh and relaxed his shoulders, which seemed to let the monkey jump right off.

It was a good tune-up.

That’s what Trey Starks got from Saturday’s race at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Wash., where he finished eighth on a track that continued to surprise.

Two nights, two wrecks, too many obstacles.

Homework.

Loose, loose, loose.

That’s the best way to summarize Trey Starks’ weekend, when he overcame an ill-handling sprint car to finish 10th with the ASCS Southern California Region at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., on Saturday.

He was forced to coast to the pits and gingerly pull up to his trailer.

Sometimes weird and crazy works.

This weekend will be full of new experiences for Trey Starks, who relishes the challenges.

Except for one miscue and a rainstorm, last weekend was arguably a career best for Trey Starks.

The early hole was just too deep for Trey Starks to overcome.

If seat time is the most important ingredient in making a successful racer, Trey Starks is on the hot track.
