After being robbed of a Knoxville Nationals victory by an engine failure two years ago, David Gravel got his long-awaited storybook ending on Saturday night.
Though he put on a Herculean charge through Saturday night’s NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals finale, Logan Schuchart came up one spot short of victory after 50 laps.
A vicious flip during his heat race on Thursday left Shane Stewart’s CJB Motorsports team thrashing to get a new mount ready to race.
Thanks to his superb Wednesday night preliminary performance, Aaron Reutzel will start from the pole in Saturday’s 50-lap, $150,000-to-win NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals finale.
