WATERTOWN, Conn.—May 14, 2013— David Gravel has been looking forward to this

The first East Coast Swing of the season for the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series begins on Wednesday, May 15 at Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pa. The series then heads to the famed Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pa., on Friday May 17 and Saturday, May 18 for two full nights of racing.
