Inside Line Promotions – FORNEY, Texas (March 19, 2014) – After being delayed a week because of rain, Travis Rilat is again set to kick off his sprint car season in Texas.
Following the ASCS Gulf South Region’s rainout at Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas, last Saturday, Rilat will debut in Texas this Friday and Saturday with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour at Devil’s Bowl Speedway in Mesquite.
“It’s the closest track to our shop and we’ve had quite a bit of success there,” Rilat said. “It’s always a big event whenever the ASCS National Tour is in town so hopefully we can put together two great nights of racing up front.”
During the lone day of this event last year, Rilat claimed a B Main and then charged from 17th to score a fifth-place finish. In two other Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour events at Devil’s Bowl Speedway last season, Rilat won a heat race each night and finished sixth and 10th, respectively, in the main events.
“We’ve won a few races at Devil’s Bowl throughout the years and we put together some solid performances last season,” he said. “The key is to get a good start in the heat race and earn enough points to advance to the redraw.”

“It’s kind of funny how I met (Shark owner) Marc Huson when I went up there to Washington for an ASCS National Tour race and Triple X Race Co. was next door,” Rilat said. “I was wandering around talking on my cell phone and saw a sprint car next door. I walked over, looked around and introduced myself.
“He’s been a great friend. He was instrumental with a support group for me and my family when I was in the hospital up there. He and his wife helped us out in a hard time. As far as his engine skills go, he’s one of the best in the country. There’s only a handful of great engine builders across the country and I consider him one of the best.”
