PLEASANTON, Texas (April 22) – Talon Minten outlasted the field to take home Sunday’s IMCA Modified main event at I-37 Speedway.
Minten got the lead from early point man Chris Morris, who drives withonlyhand controls, then outpaced the remaining field for the win.
“We had a good car,”said Minten. “With the wrecks and cautionsI’m gladI started up front and stayed clear of it all. The track wasn’t too bad for our feature,I felt like the top line was dominant so whoever got up there first would likely stay out front.”
Dillon Tindall was second and Morris ended his night in third.
The scheduled Saturday show at Pleasanton was rescheduled because of inclement weather and wet pit conditions.

At the start of the 20-lap Friesen Performance IMCA Modified main it was Rick Green with the lead chased by Jared Maupin, Whitmire, Ryan Doyon and Chris Morris.

By J.M. Hallas PLEASANTON, Texas (June 6) – The two-week break in racing at I-37 Speedway proved a blessing Saturday night for Chris Carroll, whose IMCA Modified had sustained significant damage in the last outing. Carroll started in row four and caught leader Rick Green in traffic to get by. In the latter stages, Carroll had to fend off rookie Logan Dinsmore, fresh off his high school graduation. “This was Rick’s race. He clearly had the better car tonight. Everything just fell my way,” Carroll said. “I was watching Rick, he was gone. It’s easier being in second place sometimes when you get to traffic.” Jamie Campbell ended in second and Ryan Doyon was third.
