By J.M. Hallas

PLEASANTON, Texas (July 28) – Rick Green took home the top money in Saturday’s IMCA Modified feature at I-37 Speedway, but it wasn’t easy after midway.

Green had jumped out to an early lead from the eighth starting spot and put some distance on Jeremy Davenport, Cody Tidwell, Jake Rollins and Greg Dinsmore.

Dinsmore advanced to second but was half a straightaway back until caution flew on lap 13. The restart saw Dinsmore and Tidwell on Green’s bumper, but as the two fought for second Green inched ahead.

Dinsmore’s run to the front ended with brake problems, leaving Tidwell to take up the charge on a restart. Green got a couple car lengths on Tidwell and Carroll with Flanagan and Cody Leonard side-by-side for fourth.

Tidwell gave Green a look on the final lap, but Green held him off for his first I-37 victory in several years.

Latest I-37 win is STIMS fifth for Dinsmore

By JM Hallas PLEASANTON, Texas (Sept. 14, 2024) – It was another “hot” night of racing at I-37 Speedway after a week off. The action was as hot as the temperatures on the quarter-mile mile, semi-banked, dirt, oval just outside Pleasanton. It’s still a tight battle in the South Texas Friesen Performance IMCA Modified Series by Hortch Speed Shop with Chris Morris now on top by 10 over Ryan Doyon and 11 over Rick Green. Jacob Hortch led the STIMS field into turn one at the start of the 20-lap feature, but it was Green getting inside to lead lap one. Hortch, Morris, Jared Maupin and Logan Dinsmore followed in the top five. Morris got by Hortch for second with Maupin following to third. Dinsmore was next to pick up a spot from Hortch before Maupin spun and collected Hortch, ending both their nights. On the restart, Green had Morris looking high while Dinsmore looked low. Green and Morris then went side-by-side with Morris getting the nose ahead briefly. Dinsmore got by low for second, [Read More]

Maupin Breaks Through for First STIMS Win of 2025 at I-37

By J.M. Hallas PLEASANTON, Texas (Aug. 23, 2025) — The South Texas IMCA Modified Series rolled into I-37 Speedway for a 20-lap Friesen Performance IMCA Modified main event that featured a family storyline right from the start. After the redraw, the Dinsmore brothers — Logan, a series championship contender, and Cameron, a rookie in just his first half season of IMCA Modified racing — lined up side-by-side on the front row. At the drop of the green, Logan Dinsmore jumped out front with Jared Maupin in close pursuit, followed by Colin Carroll, Cameron Dinsmore, and Johnny Torres. Maupin quickly turned up the pressure, showing the nose low in turn one on lap two and getting alongside the leader the next time around. Logan fought back in turns three and four to hang onto the point, and the duel raged for several more laps before Maupin finally completed the pass in turns three and four on lap eight. From there, Maupin stretched his advantage while the battle behind him shuffled, with Torres moving up to fourth past [Read More]
