Watertown, Conn.—Sept. 3, 2012 — With the speed and consistency that David Gravel has shown this season, he and his team have high expectations each and every time they roll through the pit gate. Following seventh and eighth-place showings that left them seeking more, they found what they were looking for in the form of a third-place finish at NAPA Auto Parts Wayne County Speedway in Ohio, on Sunday, Sept. 2, with the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions.
Gravel opened the night at the three-eighths-mile by turning the second-fastest lap in time trials of the 27 drivers that were in attendance. He lined up third in the second eight-lap heat race and powered his way to a third-place finish, which put him in the dash. Gravel started on the pole in the dash and finished second to veteran Dean Jacobs, which earned him the outside front row starting spot in the 30-lap main event. At the drop of the green flag, the native of Watertown, Conn., ran second to Jacobs for the first several laps. Gravel would stay near the front of the field for the duration of the A-Feature, finishing third, which marked his ninth Top-Five finish of the season with the All Stars. Read more »
