PLEASANTON, Texas (Sept. 26, 2026) — The Southern Touring IMCA Modified Series presented by On Demand Shirts wrapped up its 2026 points season at I-37 Speedway, where 17 Karl Kustoms IMCA Modifieds signed in for the $1,000-to-win, 20-lap main event at the racy South Texas bullring.

Cody Leonard set the tone early, taking the win in DIY equipment sales and rental Heat One over Steven Whiteaker Jr. Contact between Johnny Torres and Brandon Sanderson coming into turn one after the green ended the heat for both drivers. Once the field was restacked, Leonard and Whiteaker Jr. pulled away, while Shawn Sandegren, Cameron Dinsmore, and Chris Carroll fought hard all race long. Carroll ultimately held on for third, with Sandegren fourth and Dinsmore fifth.

Sundowner Performance Diesel Heat Two started with the field three wide into turn one after the green flag dropped, and again on lap two, before things sorted themselves out. When the checkered flag fell, point leader Jared Maupin had claimed the win over Ryan Doyon, with Logan Dinsmore third.

Leonard and Maupin brought the field to green for the feature, with Doyon and Whiteaker Jr. right behind. The caution flew on lap one when Cameron Dinsmore spun in turn one, and again on lap four when John Franklin Owens spun at the bottom of turn four. On the lap four restart, Carroll went for a wild ride after hanging his right rear off the top of the track, but he was able to continue. He would bring out another caution and retire after 11 laps. Maupin walked away after the restart, leaving Leonard and Whiteaker Jr. to fight tooth and nail for the runner-up spot.

Maupin cruised to victory in the Rick Pollaro-owned no. 96, his seventh STIMS win of 2026 and eighth in the GRT Race Cars South Central Region. Leonard crossed the line second, followed by Whiteaker Jr. and Doyon. Torres, who started 15th after his heat race trouble, moved up through the field to battle with Doyon for fourth, but he settled for fifth at the checkered.

The win capped off a dominant 2026 campaign for Maupin, who closes the books on the Southern Touring IMCA Modified Series presented by On Demand Shirts as the season champion. Whiteaker Jr. finishes runner-up in the final standings, with Torres third.

This race we had two drivers move up ten positions each, Johnny Torres and Rob Sanderson earned the Mike Terry Motorsports award.

Jared runs the CWR Warriors logo on his car, making him a recipient of the CWR Warriors Veterans Award.
