Inside Line Promotions – PUYALLUP, Wash. (Oct. 13, 2025) – Trey Starks will wrap up his season this weekend when he travels to California for the 31st annual Trophy Cup.
Starks, with the support of Kevin Rudeen and Rudeen Racing, is venturing to Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare for the marquee event that runs Thursday through Saturday.
“My results at Trophy Cup over the years have definitely varied,” he said. “The first time I went down to Trophy Cup we had a pretty good run. Since then, like Tulare can do, we got ate up a couple of times. We had some good runs and had some crashes. We didn’t have much consistency. Then I didn’t race there for several years.
“We had a good run last year. Between last year and racing at that track a couple of years ago for Dominic (Scelzi), we had good success. With that and taking our own package down there, I think we can have a lot of success over the weekend. Our 360 package is close to the top on the West Coast. Tulare is definitely different from Skagit, but I think we can make our racing package fit well there.”
Starks enjoyed a career-best Trophy Cup last year when he won the 50-lap finale and finished seventh in event points out of more than 60 competitors. It marked his first time at the event in seven years.
“I think the goal for this year is to be a contender to win the Cup come Saturday,” he said. “It’s a very unique race and usually the winner of the Cup isn’t necessarily in contention for the feature win on Saturday. It’s a race that requires you to race so hard the entire time. You are constantly fighting and passing cars. It’s cool because you don’t really know until the dust literally settles after the feature on Saturday who has won. The goal for us is to have solid runs and be in contention to win the Cup on Saturday night.”
Starks enters his season finale with 10 feature victories this season. That gives him double-digit wins for the second straight season and the fourth time in his career.
