WATERTOWN, Conn.—June 23, 2013— With his 21st birthday just mere hours away, David Gravel gave himself an early present, as he was victorious in the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series inaugural event at I-94 Speedway in Fergus Falls, Minn., on Saturday, June 22. The native of Watertown, Conn., led all 30 laps en route to earning the second World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series win of his career.

“To win a World of Outlaws race anytime is huge, and to win it right before my birthday, that is just absolutely amazing,” said Gravel. “We’ve had an up and down year, but have continued to work hard each and every night. I really have to thank my crew chief Tyler Swank for everything he does day in and day out. The car was great in open track and I just had to pick my spots in traffic to get around the slower cars. Everything worked out and it’s definitely an awesome way to celebrate my birthday.” Read more »

WATERTOWN, Conn.—June 19, 2013— Entering this season, there were two bullrings that David Gravel had heard about for years and had not yet had an opportunity to race at. One was Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, Calif., which he had a chance to race at earlier this season. The second — River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D. Running full-time with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series this season, the native of Watertown, Conn., gets to compete twice at the always racy high-banked, three-tenths-mile, with the first of those being this weekend, followed by a trip to Minnesota for the second consecutive weekend.

Gravel will make his debut at River Cities Speedway aboard the FMR Racing/JRC Transportation/Musco Fuel Model Craft J&J under the Bill Rose Racing banner, on Friday, June 21 for the first round of the Gerdau Ameristeel Northern Tour.
