Watertown, Conn.—July 31, 2012 — It wasn’t a matter of if, but rather when David Gravel would pick up his first win of the 2012 season. After four runner-up finishes this year, the 20-year-old broke through and was victorious last week, north of the border at Red River Co-op Speedway in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, with the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions on Thursday, July 26.
“It definitely feels great to win,” said Gravel. “We had been close so many times this year, and to finally get that monkey off our back is fantastic. Tyler (Swank) and Kyle (Ripper) have been doing such an amazing job all year, and to reward them with a win, I can’t ask for much more than that. Hopefully we can keep this momentum going for the next few weeks.” Read more »

Watertown, Conn.—July 24, 2012 — There is no better time for a sprint car driver to hit their stride than during the middle of the summer, which is one of the busiest stretches of the year, with some of the highest paying events dotting the calendar at that time as well. David Gravel and his team are at the top of their game right now, as they continue to have one of the fastest cars with the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions. Closing in on his first win of the season, Gravel has two runner-up finishes in his last three starts with the series, as well as two fast time honors. He’ll return to action this week with five races in six nights as the traditional “Thunder Through the Plains” mini-series continues.
Gravel hits the track at Hibbing Raceway in Minnesota on Tuesday, July 24. The All Stars will be making their debut at the semi-banked three-eighths-mile. For Gravel it will mark the fourth track in the Upper Midwest that he competed at for the first time this season. He made his first two starts in Wisconsin earlier this month with the World of Outlaws at Cedar Lake Speedway and Beaver Dam Raceway, and was in action at Wilmot Raceway last weekend.
“That will be another new track for us, and we’ve been getting to visit a bunch of new ones this year,” said Gravel. “They don’t get to see sprint cars very often there, so it should be a good show for the fans. We’ll go in there and give it everything we got and hopefully we can be a contender like we have been the last few nights.” Read more »
