Johnny Torres won the USRA Limited Mod main event.

After last week's double points race, some drivers pulled ahead of the pack while other lost positions.

In USRA Limited Mods, Johnny Torres increased his margin on Talon Minten and Ryan Doyon. Sterling Tausch lost ground after an on-track incident but maintained fourth over Robby Minten.

Sunoco USRA Factory Stocks saw the biggest shake up in points with Josh Sewell gaining points on Michael Keylich and Jesse Sandoval after both had tire issues in the feature two weeks ago. Mike Lyon jumped past Sandoval for third while Dustin Hurley cracked the top five.

The top five of Brian Schoenbaum Jr., Adam Tracy, Jamie Garner, Brandon McCall and Adolph Tracy held their top five spots in the USRA Tuner class.

Torres tally costly in Limited Mods: The 20-lap USRA Limited Mod feature presented by Swenson Racing Products saw Ryan Doyon get off turn 2 with the lead while Johnny Torres, Talon Minten and Roly Rodriguez were three wide for second. As they sorted out, J.J. Jennings, Art Rodriguez and Sherrill Lewis were three-abreast for sixth. Torres put a slide job on Doyon in turns 3-4 to snag the top spot on lap 5 while Talon Minten pulled off from third.

After a stack up on a restart, Roly Rodriguez was side by side with Doyon for second. Jennings made a move past Rusty Head and Roly Rodriguez for third. Roly Rodriguez then lost spots to Head and Art Rodriguez coming to halfway, as Torres stretched out his lead over Doyon.

With three laps to go, Torres's car started to show some death smoke, but still had a margin back to Doyon and Jennings fighting for second. As Torres (La Vernia) took the white flag the engine really laid down but he was able to limp home for the win in the Scott Ball Racing/Sundowner Performance Diesel/Alamo Hot Rod Parts/8T1 Construction/All In Designs/Rnminstall.com/South Texas Speedway/Carroll Construction/Billy Bob's Truck Repair/Swenson Racing Shocks/Mission Racing Engines-powered IRP Chassis.

“It's killed,” said Torres. “I was lucky enough to have a big enough lead that I could hold on for the win. I was running the bottom to try to shorten the last laps. I keep thinking about the movie Cars where the one car is limping along and everyone is speeding past and he finally sticks his tongue out to cross the finish line.”

Three-peat for Payton: Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you're good, sometimes you're in the right place at the right time.

As the scheduled 20-lap, 23-car Sunoco USRA Factory Stock feature presented by All In Designs took the green it was Johnny Torres jumping out front chased by Mike Lyon, Jesse Sandoval, William Saunders and Anthony Gordon. Robert Kelm broke and stopped to bring out a yellow. Under caution, Torres was checked for leaking fuel and pulled off. This handed the lead over to Lyon for the lap 4 restart.

Saunders and Sandoval stayed side by side for second until Sandoval got the spot leaving Gordon, Jarrett Payton and Saunders were three wide for third. Michael Keylich joined that scrap going four wide. As that fight sorted out, Cameron Dinsmore, using the top, got by Saunders and Gordon. A Jerry Miller spin slowed the action.

Lyon, the leader, was called for jumping the restart between the cones and as yellow came out Gordon and Sandoval got stacked up sending both to the hot pits with flats. As time constraints closed in the race was cut to 15 laps with Payton now out front on the restart. Keylich tried to make a move back under green and got clipped by Saunders collecting Riley Heil, Wade Jones and Sandoval.

Jarrett Payton won the Sunoco USRA Factory Stock main event.

On the next restart, Keylich tried low on Dismore, but slipped up allowing Dustin Hurley to sneak by for third while points leader Josh Sewell made it up to fifth. Jones would loop it in turn 2 after contact with Sandoval. This set up a green, white, checker on time limit. As Payton got away, Hurley was looking low on Dinsmore as Sewell tried high on Keylich. This gave Payton a clear path to the checkers in his self-funded, crate-powered Outlaw Chassis.

Two-in-a-row for Garner in Tuners: After a dismal 2020 start, defending track champ Jamie Garner said “One win is all you need to turn things around.”

Garner backed up last week's win going green to checkers in the 20-lap USRA Tuner feature presented by Brown Chevrolet. Garner and Kirk Ball stayed door to door until Garner edged out front. Ball fell in line second with Brandon McCall, Adam Tracy and Adolph Tracy in tow.

Ball and McCall then battled for second as Ryan McDonald got by the Tracys for third. Points leader Brian Schoenbaum Jr. then took a spot from Adam Tracy who got run high while lapping Shaun Tracy. Schoenbaum picked off two more spots getting by McDonald and Ball for third. The leaders started hitting heavy traffic coming to halfway showing Garner, McCall, Schoenbaum, Adam Tracy and McDonald in the top five.

McDonald and Schoenbaum went three wide splitting lapped cars with Ball getting fifth from Adam Tracy, who got into Ball who tagged McDonald for a lap-14 caution. Adam Tracy brought out the red on the restart after a fire in the engine compartment. Garner got away on green with McCall and Schoenbaum staying side by side.

Jamie Garner won the USRA Tuner main event.

Justin Sitterle was able to take fourth from Adolph Tracy as laps clicked off. With the white flag in the air, Garner had five car lengths on McCall and was able to take home the back to back victory in his VW Sirocco.
