A wild and unpredictable ShopTheBOSS.com Summer SPRINTacular feature race started 25 sprint cars from OK, AR and TX and 8th place starter Kevin Ramey eventually took the lead from race leader Michael Brown from Lawton OK. Several drivers would advance positions, get caught up in on track skirmishes, go to the back, come back through the field...and when the checkers fell, 13th place starter Ryan Hall came home in 2nd and Brandon Berryman came from beyond 20th to finish 3rd.

Corey Minor escaped injury in a wild crash in the feature race that took down part of the corner 3 fence.

And in victory lane, a shocked Kevin Ramey was handed a cell phone from Greg Rilat and was congratulated on the win from none other than Travis Rilat, who is in a Seattle hospital recovering from his recent injury. Kevin also took home $1500 for the feature win.

Complete results will be available at http://www.CowtownSpeedway.com at some point tomorrow when all results become official, and special thanks to Don Cook of the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram, as he has already published a video summary of the race:

Thanks to all of the fans and teams that supported this event, and we're really glad that the Rilat family was able to be a part of this special evening at the races and from everyone at Cowtown Speedway, we wish Travis a speedy recovery.

If you will watch the first u-tube link you might see why I like the racing at Cowtown. There is so much 3 and 4 wide racing... it is really neat.

I also want to thank Darin for coming up with the idea to have Kevin Ramey - the winner Sat. night - talk with Travis Rilat - the winner of this event last year (coincidently in a very hard fought battle to the finish with Ramey). Also I want to thank Darin for putting a smile on Greg Rilat's face - something that hasn't been seen in a while.

I hope y'all can find it in your hearts to help out the Rilat's and Wayne Johnson, too, in their struggle with their financial problems facing them. They have both given most of us some great years of close competition and it is time for us to support them. I couldn't believe it when I heard of their mishaps on the same day. They are 2 of the most talented and most fun individuals around.

Thank you.
