Johnny Torres won the USRA Limited Mod main event.

La Vernia ace Johnny Torres picked up the USRA Limited Mod feature win Saturday during Sames Ford Night at the South Texas Speedway in Corpus Christi.

He captured his first win in a Limited Mod in the Sparkling City in dramatic fashion as Torres was dogged by charging Mason Castaneda in the closing circuits of a wild feature event .

A lighting-fast race track saw Castaneda and Torres start on the front row of the main event and Torres took command early. Torres held serve through several early restarts and used the clean air to open up a cushion.

Castaneda fended off several charges from Chase Laven and Cody Leonard before securing second and setting his sights on Torres. Castaneda worked the top line of the speedway to pull alongside Torres coming to two laps to go. Torres held serve on the bottom and picked up the checkers.

Castaneda finished second, Cody Leonard was third, Jared Maupin wound up fourth and Tanner Whitmire rounded out the top five.
