David Gravel

Gravel will continue on to El Paso on April 15th…

David Gravel began the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series West Coast Swing in early March not really knowing what to expect. He was set to visit tracks he had never seen, racing a car he had never driven, as he was tabbed to fill-in for the injured Bill Rose.

Prior to this weekend in World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series competition this season, David Gravel never had to look at the radar on his phone or even worry about rain for that matter, because weather had not been an issue in the first 11 races of the season for the series.

David Gravel is getting to know the state of California pretty well, after making his first-ever trip to the Golden State last month to race.

Not only does it take a fast race car to run up front with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series, but it also takes a little bit of luck.

It’s another race weekend for David Gravel this week with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series and that mean he’ll be visiting yet another track for the first time.

Sometimes in racing it’s all about being in the right place at the right time. Both races David Gravel competed in this past weekend with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series were filled with yellow and red flag periods, with the young driver steering clear of those incidents in one event and being involved in a wild last lap in the other.

It takes some drivers quite a while to get acclimated with many of the tight bullrings in California. That wasn’t the case for David Gravel, as he was able to get up to speed pretty quick in his first pair of starts in the Golden State last weekend with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series.

Continues to fill-in for the injured Bill Rose…

avid Gravel has heard and read about the sprint car racing scene in California for as long as he can remember. He has been looking for the right opportunity to race in the Golden State for the past few years. That chance will come this week as he makes his California debut at Thunderbowl Raceway as he continues to fill-in for the injured Bill Rose in the Fire Text Response Maxim on the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series circuit.

David Gravel had never seen the Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway until last Wednesday when he arrived at the half-mile for the first of two nights of racing at the state-of-the-art half-mile.
