Continues to fill-in for the injured Bill Rose

 
Watertown, Conn.—March 17, 2013 — Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, California, can be one of the toughest, most grueling and challenging tracks on the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series schedule. This was certainly the case this past weekend as many of the veteran drivers battled with and were bit by the high-banked, third-mile bullring. How did David Gravel stack up in his first visit to Tulare? Pretty well, as he finished fourth on the opening night, continuing his role filling-in for the injured Bill Rose in the Fire Text Response Maxim.
 
“It took a little bit to get used to the track and the surface, but it reminded me a little bit of Haubstadt (Tri-State Speedway in Indiana) and that was helpful,” said Gravel. “All in all, I had fun there and we were able to get another top-five, which is great for Bill’s team. It’s a cool track and I look forward to hopefully going back there down the road.” Read more »

Watertown, Conn.—March 13, 2013 — David Gravel has heard and read about the sprint car racing scene in California for as long as he can remember. He has been looking for the right opportunity to race in the Golden State for the past few years. That chance will come this week as he makes his California debut at Thunderbowl Raceway as he continues to fill-in for the injured Bill Rose in the Fire Text Response Maxim on the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series circuit.
 
The two-night event at the high-banked, third-mile Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare is set for Friday, March 15 and Saturday, March 16 and will serve as the fourth and fifth races of the 12-race West Coast Swing for the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series. Each night will be comprised of a full racing program, capped by a 35-lap A-Feature.
 
“I’ve always wanted to race in California, so I’m really excited to get back in the car this week and get to race there,” said Gravel. “I’ve heard that Tulare (Thunderbowl Raceway) is a pretty action-packed track and gets right up against the wall, so hopefully it suits me and we can have a strong run. We have some momentum from last weekend, so that should help as well.” Read more »
