Watertown, Conn.—April 7, 2013—Prior to this weekend in World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series competition this season, David Gravel never had to look at the radar on his phone or even worry about rain for that matter, because weather had not been an issue in the first 11 races of the season for the series. The next two though, were plagued by rain in the days preceding the races, which led to some extra hours by the track crew at Antioch Speedway to get the race in, while the event at Calistoga Speedway fell to extremely wet grounds.

With all the rain that fell prior to the race at Antioch Speedway on Friday, April 5, a blazing fast surface greeted Gravel and his fellow competitors. The native of Watertown, Conn., qualified 12th in the Firetext Response Maxim as he continues to fill-in for the injured Bill Rose, with a very strong field of 35 drivers signed in. Read more »

Watertown, Conn.—April 3, 2013 — David Gravel is getting to know the state of California pretty well, after making his first-ever trip to the Golden State last month to race. Over the last three weeks, he has visited four different California tracks with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series and will add another two to that list this weekend as he continues to fill-in for the injured Bill Rose in the Firetext Response Maxim.

The weekend opens for Gravel at Antioch Speedway on Friday, April 5, followed by a stop at Calistoga Speedway. Both events will be comprised of a full racing program, capped by $10,000-to-win A-Features.

“It’s been a bit of an adjustment the last couple of races at the smaller tracks, since I’m used to bigger tracks, so I’m really looking forward to this weekend,” said Gravel. “It’s definitely a challenge when you go to places you’ve never compared to places that you know, but we’ve been adapting pretty well so far out west this year. I feel pretty comfortable in Bill’s car right now.” Read more »
