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 Carroll and Marcus Mikulencak holding steady in third. At halfway, it was Maupin, Dinsmore, Mikulencak, Torres, and Carroll in the top five. Over the final circuits, Maupin continued to pull away, driving the Bobby Smith-owned no. 91, to his first win of the 2025 season in the GRT Race Cars South Central Region.
Logan Dinsmore held on for second, a finish that also secured him the 2025 STIMS championship, while completed the podium in third.
