Mullens wins Heartland Modified Tour Season Finale at I-35 Speedway

WINSTON, Mo. — Saturday night was the culmination of an entire season's worth of racing for both the drivers and staff of the USRA Heartland Modified Tour Presented by Real Racing Wheels. I-35 Speedway in Winston, Missouri graciously hosted the series for the second time this year.

27 cars signed in for action with $2,000 on the line. Tanner Mullens redrew the number thee chip, following the heat races. He rolled the high side while Tyler Hibner lead early. Slowly Mullens reeled him in and the duo were in close quarters for a handful of laps. Mullens eventually grabbed the lead and rolled away to the win.

His track performance also was big for the final points standings as well. He moved up from seventh to fourth with the win. It was his second VP Racing Fuels Checkered Flag of the season. His first came earlier in the year at Caney Valley Speedway.

“It feels good,” said Mullens, in Victory Lane with announcer Tanner Schmidt. “I think he (Hibner) was relying on that grip on the bottom, and I was too tight to stay down there. I got to the top and tried to run with momentum the best I could. I was still a little free getting in, and got a little bit to more to work on for sure.”

Hibner was the runner up for the second night in a row, showcasing great speed and poise all weekend. Brandon Givens rounded out the top three and also locked down third in the overall points. Houston Johnson was fourth and a newcomer to the Modified division, Shadren Turner, finished fifth. 

Saturday's race marked the conclusion of the season. The “Post Season Party” will take place Saturday, November 23 at the, state of the art Hochatown Saloon, in Hochatown, Oklahoma. The $32,000 point fund will be distributed, along with a great meal and concert from red dirt country music artist Stoney LaRue. More information will be forthcoming on the event.
