Inside Line Promotions – CONCORD, N.C. (Nov. 10, 2025) – Big Game Motorsports capped a second straight championship season with a winning performance during the World of Outlaws World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte last weekend.
David Gravel placed second on Thursday and was victorious on Friday before the event ended with a DNF on Saturday. The overall performance was strong enough for the team to garner the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series championship for the second year in a row.
“It was an awesome season,” he said. “It started off strong. We were just so consistent this year. Sprint car racing is just so tough. I’m so proud of what we were able to do this year, the full body of work from beginning to end. I think all of us at Big Game Motorsports feel that way.”
Gravel timed in second quickest in his group, won a heat race and placed second in both the dash and feature on Thursday – ending less than a second behind the leader after running second for all 25 laps.
On Friday, Gravel, who had set quick time in his group, won a heat race and finished sixth in the dash to line up on the outside of the third row in the main event.
“I felt like the bottom of (turns) one and two wasn’t very good, but in (turns) three and four I felt pretty good,” he said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. “I wasn’t having good exit speed, but was really gaining to the center. I just kept working it. I changed my entry a lot of times there in (turns) three and four at the end. The more I got in the brown, the better, and more I gained on (Rico Abreu). He definitely started hanging for sure. He was struggling there in (turns) one and two. I got faster than him in the cushion, and he was definitely hanging on. It’s good to get a win.”
Gravel worked his way into the runner-up position by Lap 15 before pouncing in the waning laps, leading the final two circuits to give him a triumph during seven of the last nine years at the track.
Gravel was the high-points driver entering the season finale on Saturday. A heat race win and dash victory gave him the pole position for the main event. He led the first 14 laps before contact with the wall resulted in an early exit with a 25th-place result.
“What a season,” he said. “I’m just really proud of my guys. I feel really bad for them tonight with what happened, but it doesn’t put a black eye on your whole season. It’s been such a good year. I just can’t believe how consistent we were all season. These guys produced every night, and I can’t thank them enough.”
