Heart O' Texas Speedway (Waco)
June 10 (Friday)

Three-time Regional Champion Kevin Ramey, #7m, started from the fourth position in The Oil Medics ASCS Lone Star Region A-main at Heart O' Texas Speedway Friday night. Kevin was in a great spot until he stopped on the front straight-a-way and the ASCS officials told him that he would have to go to the rear of the field. Kevin explained that he had stopped because of debris on the track and the ASCS officials allowed him to return to his fourth spot and then it was just a matter of catching the Palm Harbor Homes sponsored Michael Lang, #14, and Eric Baldaccini, #4. Michael Lang took the early lead with Eric Baldaccini in hot pursuit. It was a close race between Michael and Eric for several laps, but Eric finally managed to get past Michael and with about 10 laps to go, Kevin past Eric for the win. This was Kevin Ramey's first ASCS Sprints victory of the season and he said he felt badly because his family was racing Mini Sprints back home. I'm sure the $2,000 first prize will help them get over it. Finishing out the top five were Michael Lang, #14, Justin Melton, #11, and Martin Edwards, #45.

The ASCS Lone Star Region Sprints will be running at Kilgore's Lone Star Speedway Saturday night. For more information, go to: www.lonestarspeedway.com
