Dinsmore returns to victory lane at I-37

By J.M. Hallas

PLEASANTON, Texas (June 2) – Returning after several weeks off, Greg Dinsmore found himself in a familiar place, victory lane, following the Saturday IMCA Modified main event at I-37 Speedway.

Leading every lap but the first one, Dinsmore got by early beader Bill Pittaway and then held off Cody Tidwell on restarts to secure the win

“Setting the car up for dry slick was key tonight,” explained Dinsmore. “It was a patience game and hit your marks. Once you find a line that’s fast, feel the car dig pretty good, just keep hitting those marks.”

Chris Morris rounded out the top three.

Dinsmore rumbles in Royal finale at I-37

By JM Hallas PLEASANTON, Texas (June 17, 2023) – Saturday was the time to crown the Friesen Performance IMCA Modified Royal Rumble mini-series, sponsored by Sundowner Performance Diesel, champion at I-37 Speedway. There had been three different winners in the previous three races, Dillon Tindall, Chris Morris and Ryan Doyon, with Tindall and Tanner Whitmire tied for the lead going into the finale, Logan Dinsmore three points out and Doyon rounding out the top. The race sailed by, going green to checkers on the blackened off track. Dinsmore drew the pole and took advantage of the starting spot, jumping out front as three-wide for second sorted out to Whitmire, Tindall and Doyon with Landon Bednarz fifth. Johnny Torres, in a borrowed ride, moved past Bednarz for fifth, then Doyon for fourth. Coming to halfway it was Dinsmore maintaining his advantage over Whitmire, Tindall, Torres and Doyon. Dinsmore was hitting traffic, but only missed a beat once as the laps waned. Dinsmore easily took the checkers. “I’ll probably give dad his sponsored money back, or go [Read More]

Grabo Grabs South Texas Money in Night Three of Showdown at I-37

By J.M. Hallas PLEASANTON, Texas (Jan. 9, 2026) — The 25-lap, $1,500-to-win IMCA Modified main for night three of the Texas Showdown at I-37 came to green with Jordan Grabouski and Dean Abbey staying wheel to wheel into turn one. Steven Whiteaker Jr. had a big run coming off the very top, but it was Grabouski leading lap one, chased by Whiteaker, Abbey, Cody Laney, and Jeff Taylor in the top five. Abbey used the bottom to take second from Whiteaker on lap two, with Taylor grabbing third a lap later. The yellow waved on lap six, and when things got back under green, Grabouski got away while Laney tried the high side and fell back, and G.W. Egbert IV moved into the top five. Halfway through, Grabouski had built a half-straightaway advantage over Abbey, Taylor, Whiteaker, and Egbert. With five to go, Abbey was closing slightly as Grabouski encountered traffic. Each lap, Abbey picked up a car length or so, while Grabouski worked through slower cars, all of which were running the bottom. With two [Read More]

Sunday win at I-37 goes to Minten

By J.M. Hallas 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 with only hand controls, then outpaced the remaining field for the win. “We had a good car,” said Minten. “With the wrecks and cautions I’m glad I 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.
