David Gravel Finishes Ninth in Battle at Salina Highbanks Speedway
Watertown, Conn.—April 28, 2013— Simply put, David Gravel had a battle on his hands all night at Salina Highbanks Speedway in the World of Outlaw STP Sprint Car Series event on Saturday, April 27. First, he took on a blazing fast surface that was even quicker due to Mother Nature dumping quite a bit of rain in the area over a two-day period. The East Coast racer also contended with driveline problems in the 30-lap main event, muscling the car home to a ninth-place finish as he continues to fill-in for the injured Bill Rose in the Firetext Response Maxim.
On the initial start of the A-Feature, Gravel lost a few spots when the front of his machine bicycled. The only caution flag of the night came out at the same time for a car that spun over the banking of the track, thus necessitating a complete restart and moving Gravel back to his original fifth starting spot. Following the second start, the race would go non-stop in just over six minutes. Over the course of the 30-lapper, Gravel slipped back a few spots as he nursed his car to the checkered flag to earn his ninth top-10 finish of the season. Read more »
