Watertown, Conn.—June 6, 2012 — In winged sprint car racing, it’s often said that when a team heads to the East Coast — mainly Central Pennsylvania — that it’s a good measuring stick to see how they stack up against the always tough competition. David Gravel has made a couple of trips to Central Pennsylvania this year and will make a third this weekend, as he returns to action with the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champion.
The weekend opens for Gravel on Friday, June 8, at the famed Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pa., followed by a trip to Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pa., on Saturday, June 9, and concludes with a visit to Utica-Rome Speedway in New York on Sunday, June 10.
Gravel has competed at Williams Grove Speedway twice this season. He recorded a 12th-place finish with the All Stars at the half-mile on April 27, winning a heat race in that event. He also finished 12th in a weekly show at the track in the early spring. Gravel has competed at the legendary oval five times over the last two seasons, including in the National Open last fall, an event at which he set fast time at in 2010. Read more »

Watertown, Conn.—May 31, 2012 — Not only does Memorial Day signal the unofficial beginning of summer, but it is also known for having some of the best racing.

This past weekend David Gravel and his No. 89G were in action with both the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions and the World of Outlaws. Along the way, Gravel overcame adversity and several nail-biting restarts to bring home three top-10 finishes at Fremont Speedway and Lawrenceburg Speedway. The native of Watertown, Conn., will be looking to take the momentum he built on the road, as he faces the World of Outlaws again this weekend.
Memorial Day Weekend Memories
To begin his foray over the holiday weekend, Gravel traveled to Fremont Speedway in Ohio for a double-header with the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions.
