Inside Line Promotions \u2013 TULARE, Calif. (Sept. 22, 2025) \u2013 Big Game Motorsports driver David Gravel captured the $83,000-to-win Dennis Roth Classic in thrilling fashion last Saturday at Thunderbowl Raceway.<\/p>\n
The victory was the team\u2019s 15th<\/sup> total win of the season and it marked Gravel\u2019s fourth career World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series triumph at the tricky track \u2013 tied for the most in Series history.<\/p>\n Following a rainout on Friday, the marquee event concluded on Saturday with Gravel setting quick time during qualifying for the 19th<\/sup> time this season. He then won a heat race before placing fifth in the dash. That lined him up on the inside of the third row in the main event.<\/p>\n Gravel dropped to sixth on the start before climbing back into the top five on Lap 4. He moved to fourth on Lap 12 and to third one lap later. With the top two making contact and going to the work area, Gravel inherited the lead on Lap 19. He led the remainder of the 35-lap feature, which concluded in a side-by-side finish at the line with Gravel edging Spencer Bayston by 0.021 seconds.<\/p>\n \u201cI saw (Bayston) go around me coming to the white and knew I had to fill the hole in (turns) one and two,\u201d Gravel said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. \u201cI knew I wanted to get under Gauge (Garcia) there (entering turn three) and just drove in way too hard and couldn\u2019t stick the middle and had to slide all the way across, and I figured he was coming with a run.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat a race. Crazy deal what happened in the front there (between Kaleb Montgomery and Corey Day) and gave us a shot to win there. I think if those two guys don\u2019t get together, we probably don\u2019t have a shot to win the race. I\u2019m just glad to hang on. You don\u2019t want to lose races like that, especially big paying ones. It feels good to win another race at Tulare.\u201d<\/p>\n Gravel extended his World of Outlaws points lead to 150 points heading into the Buckeye Brawl presented by NOS Energy Drink this Friday at Millstream Speedway in Findlay, Ohio, followed by the Federated Auto Parts Showdown at Sharon Speedway in Hartford, Ohio, on Saturday.<\/p>\n Friday marks the first World of Outlaws race at Millstream Speedway since 1994.
