Watertown, Conn.—July 10, 2012 — In winged sprint car racing, the “Month of Money” is not something that just all of a sudden pops up in the middle of the summer. Teams prepare all year for the four week stretch that features high-profile and high-dollar events. David Gravel and his team are no different, as they have been gearing up for the “Month of Money” for quite some time. They’ll have the chance to put all of that hard work and preparation to use this week as the biggest month of the year in sprint car racing kicks off.
 
Gravel will hit the track first at Limaland Motorsports Park in Ohio, on Wednesday, July 11, for the Ohio Logistics 24th Annual Brad Doty Classic Presented by Racing Optics. The focus will then shift to the famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, on Friday, July 13, for the Knight Before the Kings Royal and the $50,000 to-win Kings Royal on Saturday, July 14.

Watertown, Conn.—July 9, 2012 — David Gravel had never seen Cedar Lake Speedway in Wisconsin, until last Friday afternoon, but that didn’t seem to matter to the 20-year-old. After just a handful of laps in practice at the high-banked three-eighths-mile, he went out and turned the fastest lap in qualifying with the World of Outlaws for the third time this season. He followed that up with a second-place finish in the 35-lap main event, which was his best performance of the season with the series.
 
The FVP Outlaw Showdown at Cedar Lake Speedway on Friday, July 6, marked Gravel’s first trip to Wisconsin to race a sprint car, and he would make his second start in the Badger State on Saturday, July 7 at Beaver Dam Raceway.
 
The native of Watertown, Conn., started the main event at Cedar Lake on the inside of the fourth row. He fell back a few spots early in the race and found himself as far back as 12th on the ninth lap. After the first caution flag flew on lap-19, Gravel began a frenetic charge to the front as the laps wound down. Read more »
