Watertown, Conn.—May 1, 2013— When it came to time trials at the famed Eldora Speedway during World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series events last year, no one had a better record than David Gravel. The native of Watertown, Conn., set fast time in each of his first three starts at the half-mile with the series, including sweeping time trials during the two-day spring event. Gravel will return to Eldora this weekend, looking to not only qualify up front, but score his first win of the season.

The first of three visits to Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, for the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series is set for Friday, May 3 and Saturday, May 4. Gravel will pilot the No. 6 Firetext Response Maxim for Bill Rose Racing in each of those contests.

“One of the keys at Eldora is to keep the car really straight,” said Gravel. “You have to be confident to run the cushion and that’s where you need to be to run good. I feel pretty comfortable in Bill’s car and have a good feel for it, so hopefully that translates to this weekend at Eldora.” Read more »
