Rilat is Royal in Baytown
Bryan Hulbert - Baytown, Texas (August 11, 2012) Jumping back behind the wheel of the Shop the Boss.com No. 29, Travis Rilat lined his pockets to the tune of $3,000 at Royal Purple Raceway this past Saturday, taking the 6th annual Southeast Texas Shootout victory with the Griffith Truck and Equipment ASCS Gulf South Region.
Taking the field in the eight position Rilat wasted little time getting to the front. Surviving a caution on lap four followed by a red on lap six involving front runners Bruce Crockett and Logan Bledsoe, the Forney, Texas driver threaded the needle on lap ten between Brandon Berryman and a lapped car to gain the race lead.
From there Rilat was on top as the No. 29 raced to the checkered flag. Brandon Berryman settled for second with Ray Allen Kulhanek rounding out the podium. Tommy Bryant and Travis Elliot made up the drivers in the top five.
Michael McNeil took sixth with Michael Lang charging from twenty-second to claim seventh. J.J. Simmons was eighth with Beau Smith and Chris Sweeney rounding out the top ten.
