Gravel Revved Up in Louisiana

The echoing roar of the standing room only crowd said it all.

Making their debut appearance at The Rev in Monroe, LA, the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series delivered a race of the year candidate on Saturday night.

It was an emphatic return to the state of Louisiana – first race since 2004 – capped by a non-stop 30-lap feature which saw three different leaders, six official lead changes, and 13 total passes for the top spot.

David Gravel and Brad Sweet were the stars of the show, squaring off in an exhilarating duel. Ultimately, three-tenths of a second is all that separated the Big Game Motorsports #2 and the Kasey Kahne Racing #49 at the checkered flag; as Gravel held on to secure his 59th career World of Outlaws victory, his first of the 2021 season, and his first with his new organization.
