KNOXVILLE, IOWA (August 15, 2020) – On the third and final night of ‘The One and Only’ at Knoxville Raceway, David Gravel sat atop the event’s point standings after finishing fifth on Thursday evening and taking the win on Friday night as he beat Kyle Larson to the finish line. He had accumulated 849 points and was one of only four drivers to lock into the DIRTVision Fast Pass Dash and the Brownells Capitani Classic, so he did not have to compete in any of the four qualifiers that were part of the night’s racing agenda. Philip Dietz, as he always does day-in and day-out, meticulously prepared the JJR #41 throughout the day to give his driver the best chance to end up in victory lane.
