WATERTOWN, Conn. — Aug. 1, 2013— Competing on the most challenging sprint car circuit in the world, it’s only fitting that David Gravel will race this weekend in the Ironman 55, the longest and probably the most grueling race of the year for the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series. This season marks the fifth edition of the Ironman 55 at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 in Pevely, Mo., just outside of St. Louis.

The Ironman 55 returns to a two-night event this year and is scheduled for Friday, Aug. 2 and Saturday, Aug. 3. A full racing program will encompass each night, with a 30-lap feature highlighting the first night and the 55-lap, $20,000-to-win Ironman 55 capping the weekend. Read more »

WATERTOWN, Conn.—July 26, 2013— David Gravel vividly remembers the last time he raced in Canada — that’s because he was victorious. The win came last year with the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions at Red River Co-op Speedway in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This season, competing full-time with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series, the 21-year-old will run a total of five nights north of the border at four tracks in three provinces, beginning with a trio of races over a four-day span this weekend.

The three-race stretch opens for Gravel aboard the FMR Racing/JRC Transportation/Musco Fuel/Model Craft J&J on Saturday, July 27 at Autodrome Drummond in Drummondville, Quebec. Action then shifts to Cornwall Motor Speedway in Ontario, on Sunday, July 28. The first Canada Swing of the season wraps up on Tuesday, July 30 with the running of the Arrow Express Cup at Ohsweken Speedway, also in Ontario. Read more »
