Maupin powers to USRA Limited Mod win at South Texas Speedway
Jared Maupin won the USRA Limited Mod main event.
Weslaco’s Jared Maupin picked up his second South Texas Speedway USRA Limited Mod win Saturday night during the finale of the 1st Class Towing doubleheader.
Maupin started pole on night two after some tough luck in the Friday opener derailed his chances for a weekend sweep.
Maupin had the No. BD1 rolling, winning heat one and securing the pole position for the feature. Maupin dueled from the opening green with the Nueces Brewing No. 77 of Cody Beddoe with the pair changing lines as Beddoe led lap one. Maupin powered back around Beddoe and the two ran side-by-side with Maupin relegated to the top line of the speedway.
Maupin used the high line to make the pass on lap three and cruised to a comfortable lead on the low line of the speedway. The race for second saw China Grove’s Trent Beaver, La Vernia’s Johnny Torres and Beddoe engage in a three-way battle for the spot.
After a mid-race restart, Friday's winner, Brian Rye, entered the fray and brought Mason Castaneda along. Castaneda used the high line of the speedway and dueled with Beaver for the last half of the race. Beaver snuck ahead at the checkers to bring the No. 14 home second. Castaneda was third, Rye fourth and Torres rounded out the top five.
The night also featured a great Sunoco USRA Factory Stock feature that saw Victoria’s Johnny Westfall scoring the win.
Westfall made a pass of race-long leader Dillon Gaither coming to the white flag and held serve on the final lap to grab the checkered flag.
Gaither came home in second, Nathan Rachui was third, Jerry Evans fourth and Matthew Villarreal came home fifth.
