Inside Line Promotions – WEEDSPORT, N.Y. (July 27, 2026) – Big Game Motorsports enjoyed a big week that featured a pair of wins and three podiums during a trio of World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series races.
Following a rainout last Tuesday at Ohsweken Speedway in Ohsweken, Ontario, Canada, David Gravel guided the team to a clean sweep at the track on Wednesday – setting quick time during qualifying before winning a heat race, the dash and the main event. It marked his third consecutive triumph at the track dating back to a pair of wins last year.
“Just like last year, I felt like we weren’t that great early on, and then once we burned this fuel load off, the car came to life,” he said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. “Carson (Macedo) was really good with the fuel load. Right about halfway the car started coming to me, and I got the wing back. For whatever reason it was kind of déjà vu. I’ve got to thank Cody (Jacobs), Zach (Patterson) and Luke (Vaughn) for giving me a great race car all night long. What a night.”
The action shifted to Weedsport Speedway on Saturday for the start of a weekend doubleheader. Gravel was quickest in qualifying, won a heat race, advanced from fifth to third place in the dash and gained a position to place second in the main event.
The weekend concluded the ensuing night with Gravel setting quick time during qualifying, capturing a heat race victory, placing fifth in the dash and hustling from fifth to win the main event – his sixth straight season with a trip to Victory Lane at Weedsport Speedway.
“Cody, Luke and Zach kept working on it and put something back in it that worked a lot better than the dash and (we) had a great race car there,” he said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. “It feels good hitting that bottom in (turns) one and two and kind of going where they weren’t in (turns) three and four. Logan (Schuchart) was kind of running the top, and Sheldon (Haudenschild) was kind of running down the track. I just kind of had the top to myself, and it worked out. Sheldon showed his nose on Logan, and Logan went low and the top was open for me. A couple racing things went my way there.”
The strong week pushed Gravel’s lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings to 154 points. The two victories also moved him back into a tie for the most World of Outlaws wins – nine – this season.
The team will venture to Central Pennsylvania this week for races on Wednesday at BAPS Motor Speedway in York Haven during the Bricker’s Bash and Friday and Saturday at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg during the C&D Rigging Summer Nationals.
Gravel won a World of Outlaws race at BAPS Motor Speedway in July 2023 and he has Series triumphs at Williams Grove Speedway earlier this season as well as in 2014, 2017 (three times), 2019 (twice), 2020 (twice) and 2024.
