WATERTOWN, Conn.—July 7, 2013— David Gravel rode his 900-plus horsepower sprint car into the Old West of Dodge City, Kansas, this past weekend with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series for the Boothill Showdown, and “Got out of Dodge” with an eighth-place finish in the opener of the two-night event. For the driver of the FMR Racing/JRC Transportation/Musco Fuel/Model Craft J&J, it was his first trip to the state-of-the-art three-eighths-mile.

In his debut at Dodge City Raceway Park on Friday, July 5, Gravel finished eighth, in an event that was cut short due to track conditions that led to a multitude of flat tires and caution flag periods in the late going. The native of Watertown, Conn., started 10th and gained a spot on the opening lap.

The caution flag waved four times over the last four laps — all for flat tires. Read more »
