Inside Line Promotions \u2013 SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. (Oct. 20, 2025) \u2013 Big Game Motorsports earned its second-most World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series victories in a season last Friday at Lincoln Park Speedway, where David Gravel guided the team to its 16th<\/sup> triumph of the year with \u2018The Greatest Show on Dirt.\u2019<\/p>\n

Gravel qualified fourth quickest, placed second in a heat race and won the dash to garner the pole position of the main event at the dirt oval in Putnamville, Ind. He led the opening lap before falling to second. Gravel reclaimed the top spot on Lap 13 and held on for the remainder of the race, which showcased contact during the battle for the lead in turn four on the final circuit.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, you don\u2019t want guys to come together on the last corner racing for the win,\u201d Gravel said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. \u201cWe were equal, wheel-to-wheel there. I just think we were racing for the same spot, last lap, last corner for the win. I felt like I kind of had position on him down the backstretch. I felt like he kind of forced it to go outside of me. He knew I was going to the cushion. I didn\u2019t wreck him on purpose. I know that, and hopefully he does as well. I don\u2019t want to get into a crash and knock the guy out that we\u2019re racing in points either. I want to win fair and square. I just got to thank Cody (Jacobs), Zach (Patterson), Pete (Stephens), and Luke (Vaughn) is here helping us out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The winning performance marked the 17th<\/sup> overall victory of the season \u2013 tied for the second most in a season (2011) for Big Game Motorsports. That year and the following season, when Big Game Motorsports won a season-best 23 total races with 22 being World of Outlaws shows, the team had two full-time drivers.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s World of Outlaws event at LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle, Ill., fell to the weather. The weekend wrapped up on Sunday at Angell Park Speedway, where Gravel set quick time during World of Outlaws qualifying for the 23rd<\/sup> time this season. He also established a new track record.<\/p>\n

A heat race win and a runner-up result in the dash started Gravel on the outside of the front row in the main event. He battled between second and third throughout the race before ending third for his 39th<\/sup> podium run of the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was interesting,\u201d he said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. \u201cI felt like the bottom was going to be the place to be in (turns) one and two the whole time. Sheldon (Haudenschild) showed us the top was the place to be, and I saw him almost crash that one time outside of me. I thought maybe he just had a hero lap, but then the next lap he drove around me. Then I kind of got up there and followed him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team heads to 81 Speedway in Park City, Kan., this Friday for the Wichita Sprint Car Showdown before venturing to Arrowhead Speedway in Colcord, Okla., on Saturday for the Jason Johnson Classic presented by FK Rod Ends.<\/p>\n

Gravel holds a 138-point lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings entering the weekend.<\/p>\n
