David Gravel

David Gravel (born June 23, 1992) is an American professional racing driver. He competes full-time in the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series, driving the No. 2 Maxim for Big Game Motorsports. Gravel won the 2024 and 2025 World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Championship along with the Knoxville Nationals in 2019.

Racing career Early years Growing up in Connecticut, Gravel started his racing career in quarter midgets before moving up to Legends cars on asphalt and then to dirt micro-sprints.

Dirt racing In 2008, Gravel competed full-time with the United Racing Club and became the youngest winner in the history of the series. He also participated in the 2019 Chili Bowl Midget Nationals, advancing to the A-main.

After the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily stopped the WoO season, Gravel won the tour's first race back, held with no fans at Knoxville on May 8. He later won a premiere All Star Circuit of Champions race at Eldora Speedway. In his 600th WoO start, Gravel won at Williams Grove Speedway in the National Open preliminary. Gravel started his first USAC Silvercrown race on the dirt at the Springfield Mile; he started last and finished second behind Kyle Larson.

In 2024 and 2025, Gravel became the WoO Sprint Car Series Champion.

Pavement racing On January 10, 2020, Gravel announced a six-race slate in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series, driving for GMS Racing. The announced schedule included the series' only dirt race, a July date at Eldora Speedway, but the plan ended up being foiled due to the COVID-19 pandemic canceling the Eldora race. As part of the deal, Gravel would also run the 2020 ARCA Menards Series season-opener at Daytona International Speedway with GMS affiliate team KBR Development.
