Watertown, Conn.—August 14, 2012 — The last three weeks of racing have been pretty kind to David Gravel, as he embarked on the annual Thunder Through the Plains mini-series with the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions. Along the way he picked up his first win of the season, along with earning a fast time award and five Top-10 finishes.
 
During a quick break in the Thunder Through the Plains schedule last week, he headed to the famed Knoxville Raceway in Iowa for the Goodyear Knoxville Nationals, where he earned a spot in the 50-lap main event, following a runner-up performance on the third qualifying night, that saw him lead a number of laps and turn in the fastest lap in qualifying.

Knoxville, Iowa—August 11, 2012 — David Gravel had one mission on Friday during the third night of the 52nd Annual Knoxville Nationals, which saw a new format this year, and that was to finish among the Top-Four in the 25-lap feature event, meaning he would be locked into the 50-lap $150,000-to-win A-Feature on Saturday night. The 20-year-old accomplished that, as he led a number of laps en route to a runner-up finish, which puts him on the outside of the ninth row on Saturday night for sprint car racing’s biggest event.
 
“I’m just happy to be in the show on Saturday night,” said Gravel. “This will be my first time in the main event in the three years that I’ve been coming here. I don’t even know what to say I’m so excited. I’m really looking forward to Saturday night.” Read more »
