WATERTOWN, Conn.—May 23, 2013— Memorial Day weekend has long been known for racing. Two states take center stage during this timeframe — Indiana and North Carolina. David Gravel will have a chance to race in both racing-rich states over the course of a four-day stretch as the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series visits The Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord, N.C., before heading to Lawrenceburg Speedway in Indiana for an event on Memorial Day aboard the JRC Transportation/Firetext Response/Musco Fuels/Wright Process Systems machine under the Bill Rose Racing banner.
The holiday weekend will open for Gravel in the Circle K Outlaw Show at The Dirt Track at Charlotte on Friday, May 24. He’ll take to the high-banked three-eighths-mile at Lawrenceburg Speedway on Monday, May 27.
Last season at The Dirt Track at Charlotte, Gravel was fastest in time trials for the finale of the World Finals in the fall, with a 50-car field in attendance. In the 30-lap main event he finished 10th, which marked the best finish of his career at the state-of-the-art four-tenths-mile. Gravel just missed qualifying for the main event on the first night of features during last year’s World Finals. He made his debut at Charlotte in 2009 during the Circle K Outlaw Showdown and has competed in the World Finals in each of the last three years.
