"Meet The Girls: Brittany Tresch"



For this "Meet The Girls" feature we will introduce you to Brittany Tresch!

Brittany Tresch has been racing on dirt tracks since she was five years old. She watched her father take turns around the track, but couldn't stand not being out there racing side by side with her father. Initially, Brittany started off racing go-karts at Oakland Valley dirt track in 2000.

For the 2005 racing season, Brittany moved up to the Slingshot by Tobias Division. She competed in the Junior Slingshot Division from 2005-2008.


In 2009, Brittany made the jump into open wheel racing. She captured her first 600 Wingless Micro Sprint feature win in her rookie season at Hamlin Speedway. She placed 3rd in overall points and was named the 2009 Open Wheel Rookie of the Year.


In 2010, Brittany contended every week in the wingless micro sprint division capturing 2 wins and finishing 2nd in points. Half way through the season Brittany got the chance to strap into a full size sprint car at I-88 Speedway. She made five other starts in 2010. 


2011 was a big year for Brittany. She won her first 305 sprint car feature event at Bridgeport Speedway. It was only the day before the race she was granted permission to race in Jersey by the state police. Brittany is the first female to win a feature event with TSRS. She also was the most improved driver with CRSA.


2012 was Brittany’s breakout year. She skipped her high school graduation to race Penn Can’s Regional 305 Sprint car challenge race. She became the first female to win a feature event with the CRSA. She finished 2nd in points only 23 points out of the championship! 


The 2013 season has been a struggle for Brittany. She blew up her motor the first race of the year, which put her on the sideline for a few weeks. An opportunity came along with a motor to run Orange County Fair Speedway, Brittany’s home track. She won the feature event making a last lap pass, which made her the first female to win a sprint car feature event at the legendary hard clay!

The team is excited to finish off the year on a good note with a few more wins!
