2013 Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year Award Winner David Gravel took time out of his busy schedule to talk with us at The DIRT Newtork recently. He talked about his rookie campaign, how it came to fruition, and his new ride and plans for 2014, as well as his early beginnings coming up through the ranks.
"I started out in quarter midgets when I was six years old and it was fun just hanging out with your friends. We always had really nice stuff and my dad always found sponsors. I raced those for six or seven years and did really well. When it was time to move up we weren't sure what direction we wanted to go so we bought an asphalt car and a dirt micro sprint. I drove both and just fell in love with the dirt sprint which turned into a 360 sprint car which we raced in the URC sprint tour and after 3/4 of a season we got a win.
After that we had Ray Capella with JRC transportation hop on board and buy us a truck and trailer and 3 cars and two motors and we went 410 racing. It was just kind of one of those things where you kind of walked up the ladder and once it started getting more serious, you took it more serious."
