By Alex Nieten<\/p>\n

All through the off-season David Gravel made it clear he had one goal in mind for 2024 \u2013 a World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car championship.<\/p>\n

Three consecutive runner-up finishes in the points have continued to build his hunger. He\u2019s ready to make that step. And it took him only two races in the season to make an early statement that he intends for 2024 to be his year.<\/p>\n

Gravel led every lap of Thursday\u2019s Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals Feature at Volusia Speedway Park. The Watertown, CT native started on the pole and drove a flawless 25 laps on his way to win number one of the year with The Greatest Show on Dirt<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The victory marked the latest in a recent hot streak for Gravel at \u201cThe World\u2019s Fastest Half Mile.\u201d After going winless in his first 37 Volusia attempts with the Series, Gravel has now reeled off five triumphs in his last eight tries. The five wins are enough to equal him with Daryn Pittman and Steve Kinser for the third most at Volusia with the World of Outlaws. Gravel now owns 89 career Series victories, and his team \u2013 Tod Quiring\u2019s Big Game Motorsports \u2013 is up to 95.<\/p>\n

It’s still extremely early in the season, but Gravel’s win moved him into the points lead by 16 markers. That also means he’s ahead in the Big Gator title hunt at the Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt like they did a pretty good job with the racetrack,\u201d Gravel said. \u201cI\u2019ve just got to thank Cody (Jacobs), Zach (Patterson), Scott (Vogelsong), and Stephen (Hamm-Reilly) for working really hard. They\u2019ve given me a great race car since we unloaded on Tuesday night. I\u2019ve also got to thank Tod and his family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gravel\u2019s biggest challenge of the night came right when the green flag flew. The 31-year-old led the way from the pole position with Giovanni Scelzi to his outside. On the opening lap Scelzi managed to muscle his way by Gravel on the top side. But the yellow flag flew right before the lap could be completed as Cory Eliason wound up stopped in Turn 3.<\/p>\n

The caution re-racked the field for a complete restart, and Gravel refused to allow Scelzi by on attempt number two. He darted ahead down the front straightaway and slid ahead of Scelzi\u2019s KCP Racing #18 to break his momentum in Turns 1 and 2.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was probably a little bit too nice for him going into (Turn) 1 and (Turn) 3,\u201d Gravel said of the first start. \u201cI just knew if I beat him on the start I was going to slide across and take away his momentum that time. Luckily I got a retry.\u201d<\/p>\n

From there Gravel got to work building an early lead while behind him Rico Abreu arose to face off with Scelzi for second. On Lap 2 Abreu cleared Scelzi with a slider to settle into the second spot.<\/p>\n

As the early laps clicked away Gravel\u2019s lead stayed steady around a second. Normally lapped traffic can cause problems for the leader, but once Gravel reached the tail of the field he actually began to grow his advantage even more as he expertly sliced through traffic. Slightly beyond the halfway point of the main event the distance between Gravel and Abreu ballooned over two seconds.<\/p>\n

Right when Gravel appeared headed towards a comfortable win, the yellow lights flashed when Kasey Kahne slowed with issues. The caution set up a seven-lap dash to the finish with Abreu \u2013 one of the sport\u2019s current best \u2013 right on his tail.<\/p>\n

Gravel didn\u2019t flinch on the restart. He powered the Huset\u2019s Speedway\/Billion Automotive #2 ahead of Abreu\u2019s #24 machine right away. Abreu remained within striking distance for the first couple laps following the restart. But Gravel proved to be too strong as he stretched the lead over a second and claimed his first checkered flag of 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cI figured Rico probably had a good car late in the race,\u201d Gravel explained. \u201cRicky (Warner) sets his cars up for the end of those races. I was just hoping I got a really good launch. I got a really good launch, and then I kind of opened the door for him where he could slide me going into (Turn) 1. But I felt like I got a good enough launch, and I wanted to get down that backstretch really, really strong. I wouldn\u2019t open up another opportunity for him, so I risked it going into (Turn) 1 and I knew it would pay off after that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abreu held on to the runner-up spot which pushed his career podium total with the World of Outlaws to 46. After struggling on Wednesday night, Abreu felt encouraged to rebound with an impressive outing despite coming up short of victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe (Gravel) really got away from us and hit his marks,\u201d Abreu said. \u201cWhen you catch traffic the aero really affects these cars especially when they\u2019re packed like that at the back of the field. It creates all of this turbulence that we have to manipulate as race car drivers to get a little clean air on our nose. I\u2019m just happy with how we\u2019ve performed throughout the week here from last night to tonight. That\u2019s a big positive for our team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Completing the top three after starting fifth was Justin Peck aboard the Buch Motorsports #13. It marked Peck\u2019s fourth career podium with The Greatest Show on Dirt<\/em>. Like Abreu, Peck was happy to bounce back after a sub-par Wednesday showing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing was maneuverable,\u201d Peck said. \u201cI could run the top pretty good. I could run the bottom pretty good. When I was trying to throw sliders, I didn\u2019t necessarily have to slide across the slick. I could kind of keep the left-rear (tire) planted and drive up across the track. Hats off to my guys. I didn\u2019t feel like we were really good yesterday at all. The thing seemed to be pretty fast all night. Qualified good, and it raced good in dirty air.\u201d<\/p>\n

Giovanni Scelzi and Donny Schatz rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n

An 18th to sixth run gave Logan Schuchart the night\u2019s KSE Racing Hard Charger.<\/p>\n

Brian Brown snagged Simpson Quick Time in Sea Foam Qualifying \u2013 the eighth of his career.<\/p>\n

NOS Energy Drink Heats One, Three, and Four were claimed by Rico Abreu, Brent Marks, and Justin Peck. Corey Day topped Milton Hershey School Heat Two.<\/p>\n

David Gravel won the Toyota Racing Dash.<\/p>\n

The Micro-Lite Last Chance Showdown belonged to Bill Balog.<\/p>\n
