Watertown, Conn.—Sept. 20, 2012 — David Gravel recorded Top-Five finishes earlier this season with the World of Outlaws at both Eldora Speedway and Lernerville Speedway, which marked career-best showings at each of those venues with the series. But that is not quite enough for the  ultra-competitive 20-year-old, as those strong runs left him longing for more as he returns to the pair of tracks this weekend looking to move up a few spots and contend for a couple of victories.
 
Gravel will take to the track at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, on Friday, Sept. 21 for the World of Outlaws portion of the 4-Crown Nationals weekend. He’ll then make the trek to Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa., on Saturday, Sept. 22 for the Commonwealth Clash. Read more »

Watertown, Conn.—Sept. 16, 2012 — David Gravel and his DDR Motorsports team have put a lot of focus on consistency this year. That was the game plan again this past weekend in the two-night Jim Ford Classic at Fremont Speedway in Ohio. Gravel was fast right out of the box in time trials both nights, as he has become accustomed to this season. The 20-year-old finished on the podium in the opener of the two-night event to continue a recent hot streak. Faced with a trip to the B-main in the weekend finale on Saturday night, Gravel didn’t flinch, racing his way into the A-Feature, where he would eventually finish ninth.
 
Gravel was seventh-fastest in time trials in the opener of the Jim Ford Classic weekend on Friday, Sept. 14 at Fremont. He lined up fourth in the first 10-lap heat race and finished in that same position to earn a spot in the dash. The native of Watertown, Conn., took the green flag for the six-lap dash in fifth and finished in that same position, which put him on the inside of the third row for the 30-lap main event. He ran among the lead pack for the duration of the 30-lap contest, coming home in third. Read more »
