STOCKTON, Calif. — Mattix Salmon added a non-wing victory to his Dual at Delta weekend haul on Sunday night with a last-lap pass over Ashton Torgerson for the $500 win.
Salmon’s win highlighted the final night of the Dual at Delta Speedway presented by Valley Strong Credit Union. Salmon’s victory joined a Saturday night winged Super 600 win for the teenage driver.
Torgerson anchored the 23-car non-wing field in the 30-lap affair from the pole position. Incoming points leader Nikko Panella drove past Brentwood’s Jeffrey Pahule for second on the opening lap as well.
Salmon started fourth and used lapped traffic to snooker second from Panella on lap 14. Eighth starting Caden Sarale charged to fourth before a caution fell for Tyler Chamorro stopped in turn three with ten laps remaining. The caution erased a 1.6 second lead for Torgerson over Salmon.
Torgerson led Salmon into lapped traffic in the closing stages of the event. On the 30th lap, Torgerson quickly approached a slower lapped car. He slid up the track in turn one with Salmon pouncing up the inside for the exciting win. Panella finished third followed by Sarale and Saturday night non-wing winner Taylor Mayhew.
Cody Key grabbed the victory in the Super 600 competition worth $500 after 30-laps of action. Â
Restricted points leader Lucas Mauldin of Rancho Murieta won his seventh feature win at Delta Speedway in 2022, taking the 25-lap $300-to-win event.
David Anderson of Clayton led all 20-laps for his first career Jr. Sprints victory.Â
