Inside Line Promotions \u2013 WINDOM, Minn. (Nov. 14, 2022) \u2013 Big Game Motorsports driver David Gravel finished second in the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series championship standings for the second straight season.<\/p>\n
Gravel led the series with 60 top 10s and he finished in the top five with seven wins (third most), 20 podiums (third most), 39 top fives (second most), eight quick times (tied for the second most), 216 feature laps led (third most), 27 heat race wins (the most), 43 dash appearances (second most), five dash wins (third most) and three Hard Charger Awards (tied for the fifth most).<\/p>\n
\u201cI would say the year was very solid,\u201d he said. \u201cI wish we could have had a couple more wins. I\u2019d take back a couple of laps on the season at Knoxville and Huset\u2019s. With that and being really close to the championship, I think it shows we\u2019re close to putting it all together. If you take back 20 laps it could have been an unbelievable year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gravel\u2019s World of Outlaws wins came at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla., during the DIRTcar Nationals; at Perris Auto Speedway in Perris, Calif.; twice at Eldora Speedway near Rossburg, Ohio, during the Kings Royal weekend; at Weedsport Speedway in Weedsport, N.Y.; at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash., during the Sage Fruit Skagit Nationals; and at I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Neb.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe win at Skagit was good,\u201d he said. \u201cThe Eldora week was awesome, but we didn\u2019t win the big nights. I\u2019m happy to win at Eldora, but it wasn\u2019t on the nights it paid six figures. I-80 was cool with the last race ever and my first race as a dad. I\u2019ve always liked that track so it was cool to end off with a win during the final World of Outlaws race there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Additional accomplishments throughout the year include the DIRTcar Nationals championship, a runner-up result at the Knoxville Nationals and a third-place showing at the AGCO Jackson Nationals. Gravel also secured his 75th<\/sup> career World of Outlaws win and he became a father for the first time during the special season.<\/p>\n One of the areas he is the most proud of this season is how hard the Big Game Motorsports team worked no matter how difficult the circumstances.<\/p>\n \u201cYou always have to keep putting your head down and working,\u201d he said. \u201cAt the beginning of the year we got wrecked at Bakersfield and fixed the car. Then the steering gear broke and we went into the wall. The next night we built a car in the parking lot and ended up winning that night. It\u2019s always about putting the bad nights behind you and moving forward.<\/p>\n \u201cI want to thank Cody and the guys for their hard and to thank Tod and his family for the opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n SEASON STATS \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n 72 races, 7 wins, 40 top fives, 63 top 10s, 69 top 15s, 71 top 20s<\/p>\n MEDIA LINKS \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n Twitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/BigGameMotorspt<\/a><\/p>\n HUSET\u2019S SPEEDWAY \u2013 <\/strong><\/p>\n Huset\u2019s Speedway is a dirt oval located in Brandon, S.D.
