Dominic Scelzi Gearing Up for Trophy Cup a Year After Career-Best Outing at Event

Inside Line Promotions – ANTIOCH, Calif. (Oct. 13, 2025) – Dominic Scelzi is eager to tackle one of his favorite events of the season.

Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., hosts the 31^st annual Trophy Cup this Thursday through Saturday.

“We’ve been very fast a lot of times at the event,” Scelzi said. “We’ve had great nights and great points finishes. But nothing is guaranteed and nothing is given. You just go there and hope that things go the right way.”

Scelzi’s best showing at the marquee event was last year when he ran second during the second preliminary night before charging from 22^nd to eighth during the finale. That placed him second in the event standings – only three points out of the top spot out of more than 60 competitors.

“I’m hoping that we can have a good showing and we can do something special,” he said. “I’m going in there without any expectations. I’m going to show up and see what cards we are dealt. You just know you are going into a dogfight.”

Scelzi competed last Saturday at Antioch Speedway during a NARC 410 Sprint Car Series event. He qualified second quickest, won a heat race and placed second in the dash to start the main event on the outside of the front row.

“I was the second guy out to qualify and the track was still really greasy,” he said. “I held quick time for about halfway through, but it cleaned off and got faster. Then I won the heat race. I barely won the start of the dash and they sent me back a row saying I jumped the start. I got from third to second in it.

“I ran second the majority of the main event. We had a restart halfway through and I passed D.J. (Netto) for the lead, but we didn’t complete a lap so I restarted second. We went green again for about five laps and I was all over D.J. before we had another caution. On the restart I got into turn one, hit the curb the wrong way and off it went. I felt we had a car that was capable of winning, but unfortunately it didn’t work out that way for us. I’m happy we had speed.”

Scelzi was credited with a 12^th-place result following the wreck.
