PETERSEN MEDIA: <\/strong>David Gravel and his Destiny Motorsports team had a nice 11th<\/sup> place finish at the Eldora Speedway on Friday night before an early issue under the hood of their car on Saturday night sidelined the team early in the feature event.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a good run on Friday night, we certainly could have been a little better, but we battled for a top-10 all race long,\u201d Gravel said. \u201cSaturday night we had a nice night going, but ended up with a DNF unfortunately.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Friday night at the famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, OH, Gravel would time the MonDak Portables\/Ft. Union Supply & Trading\/Benic Enterprises No. 7 machine in seventh fastest, putting him in the second row of his heat race.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finishing in the third spot, Gravel would move into the feature event, where he lined the Rick Rogers Construction\/Boss Signs and Graphics\/Maxim Chassis No. 7 machine up in the fifth row for the 30-lap affair.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the high-banked \u00bd mile track, Gravel would spend most of his race battling in the Top-10 as he raced with Brady Bacon and Gary Taylor at times. When the checkered flag flew on the race, Gravel took the checkered flag with an 11th<\/sup> place finish.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a nice finish, but we all want to be a little better, and I think we will get there for sure,\u201d Gravel added. \u201cIt is a work in progress, and everyone is working very hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Saturday night saw Gravel time in ninth fastest, putting him on the front row of the heat race alongside Paul McMahan. Finishing in the third spot, Gravel would again transfer into the feature event, where he lined up in the seventh row.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only making a few laps in the race, Gravel would bring his machine to a stop, and ultimately retire from the event with a DNF.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe put ourselves in a position to make the dash, I just didn\u2019t take care of business in my heat race,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s been a fun few weeks so far with this team, and again, I have to thank Rick and Barb Rogers for giving me this opportunity. PA is tough, but we are all looking forward to getting there this week.\u201d<\/p>\n
