Unlucky Jmac what a year youve been having 🤘🇦🇺

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

Not unlucky, he should've known better that the rubber was on its way.

[@snakemaier]

What a great track to have these guys race on.

[@MrBigfella1234]

2 points separate sweet gravel and macedo in the standings

[@mols89]

Hope it stays close!

[@tannerwest6823]

Talk about tight

[@tomrobinson199]

Dg ready to go get that million in a month let’s go

[@saragrant9749]

My favorite driver back in victory lane! That race was pretty crazy- typical of River Cities!

[@marshallhelton1769]

Congratulations David, great drive. J-Mac is tough but races everyone clean.

[@jarrodwaid4625]

Anyone else think that DQ for j-mac on the tires lit a fire under his ass just to show I'm not a cheater I'm a badass and can get it done happy for him a win and a p2 since come back

[@Hayden-bj3zn]

He's not a cheater he's nothing to do with it..he's a driver he doesn't put tires on the car

[@mec4lifesmiley700]

Enjoy watch Dave race. Clean and fast he is. Good start to the season.

[@craigsnider5199]

They've been racing since February

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

Me too, he's not always on the top step but he's never out there throwing haymakers and junking cars needlessly either. Mad respect for that.

[@donnierittenberry5515]

Great race ❤

[@nascarguy8072]

David Gravel - let’s go 🏁

[@julianr.7186]

Great racing!!

[@robertwestover2125]

Break out the chocolate milk !! Hell of a run David ! JMac was running tough.

[@michaelchaikoski9304]

My father and i drove down from Winnipeg. Met the drivers and said to David he was gonna win. I was lucky i guess to see him win at my favorite track.

[@denniskemnitz3771]

Great racing.

[@richshackelford5793]

DIRT ALL DAY

[@nathanleer7082]

Idk bout y’all but that’s better in person.

[@glennkemp6565]

Well, yeah.

[@Bload72productions]

Man that was a race, the opening was certainly hectic.

[@harrykeel8557]

Way to go!

[@robertspino8717]

1st Place…Terrific. 😢 😊

[@bobbydevine2154]

Yessssss!!!!

[@glennkemp6565]

Congratulations Mr. Gravel! The track was in great shape. The competition was awesome as usual. But I just don't understand making a dirt track with that big drop off in turns 3 and 4. How many cautions were brought out due to that drop off. Hmm. Great racing though.

[@Jennerational]

In regards to the drop off - have you been to this track before? The high banking is substantially higher than it appears. There's a reason it's the fastest track on the circuit . . .

[@markpolacek7840]

Great sprint car action. Big Cat fell a little short. 5 more laps anybody race.

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

Not how rubber works. As soon as everyone finds it the race is over nobody is passing anyone else at that point. Gravel couldn't even get past a lap car they were all so bolted down on the rubber..

[@101reconscout]

First 5 laps looked like an official Iracing race😂

[@franktichy774]

Looking forward to ogilvie tonight should be interesting with nobody ever never been there before can't wait for the next two weekends going to be attending at Knoxville and Beaver dam taking my two German shepherds there hopefully mr. Schue heart will put the One s in victory Lane where he belongs can't wait

[@happywrenching33]

how tall is gravel?

[@robbrookes4686]

As an ozzie..unlucky jmac. Gravel out foxed him and deserved the 🏆🏁

[@mistermusturd6402]

Exactly when did the pits become the work area?

[@Jennerational]

Pit stops became the work area in racing a long pit-stop ago.

[@billmellinger1134]

That looked like a really slow pace for a sprint car race.

[@chrismitchell9338]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@paulfrench6076]

Shamee JMac couldn't go back to back wins...but that was some great racing. Paul from down under

[@americancitizen7937]

Wish the cautions hadn't of came.

[@1957raider]

Gravel wins on the Gravel

[@karaburch7611]

LETS GO SHELDON!!

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

Damn I hate when the rubber comes down

[@nascage]

Can you please describe in layman's terms why any rubber (or more rubber?) on a dirt track is not necessarily good for sprint car racing? I've been watching sprints for a long time, but just now noticing drivers & fans sometimes complaining about it.

[@larryb7969]

​@@nascagepretty sure Jazzyjeff is talking about something else but here's the good and the bad. When the track takes rubber the cars hook up really well and can run hard. The problem for the drivers is it's hell on tires and if they're not careful they will run them bald and then flat. The problem for spectators is it doesn't make for great racing because everyone can get traction and no one can pass. The key to sprint car racing is finding traction, all of these cars are way too light and have way too much power to be running on dirt so the key is being able to stick. That being said, it worked out great in this race because the top was the fastest until the rubber started to stick and then Gravel found it and was able to drive around JMac.

[@nascage]

@@larryb7969 Thank you! That was a great explanation. So, when there isn't rubber laid down, the cars are able to pull sliders on each other, and pass one another, and it's now more so about driving skills than the actual setup of your car?

[@industrialpalletworx3548]

​@AZNative43 that's part of it. Early on the moisture helps with traction. When they find the sweet spot of moisture they take off like they were shot out of a cannon

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

@@nascage That other guy did a solid job explaining it, but that's the gist of it. When Rubber comes down it just turns into follow the leader, nobody passes, they all just circulate the track equidistant from each other until it's over. You'll notice toward the end of this race if you watch it back, David Gravel in the 2 car wasn't even able to pass the lap car, 11m Brendan Mullen. The leader and the guy in like 19th were the same speed, that doesn't make for good racing. When the rubber comes down, the race is effectively over at that point, the field sort of "freezes" and everyone is stuck in the position they're in until the Checked flag flies.

Unlucky for JMac

one lane at the end there. got pretty boring.

Beat that Aussie.

I think the Yanks are getting worried about JMac

[@jrozay3788]

@@mick9371 yeah I don’t think so.

[@tokeypokey]

typical outlaw caution fest 4 cautions in 4 laps

[@Rampage---7]

And only one was caused by a outlaw. Spencer Bayston the rest where non outlaws

[@sargeantshamrock8909]

Typical comment spoken with no thought or racing savvy.

[@tmaximus2327]

Good race for Gravel, he usually has a tough time on bull rings. WoW should stick to the 1/2 miles IMO. 410 are about horsepower, these little tracks reign them in too much.

[@cyclingbutterbean]

Yellow flag fest.

[@adammeyer8315]

"If he was going to pass me he would have to go around me"...uhhh yea...that's what passing is lol.

[@CocaineElvis]

He was stating the top went away some. The Aussie would’ve had to go there to pass him.

[@cliff4695]

You must be new here. Around is top side. Under is bottom side. Through me is rear bumper. 3 basic terms, welcome to the show noob 😂😂

[@mealworms19]

Overrated one lane track and typical outlaw race winner from the front row

[@industrialpalletworx3548]

I sure would love to see them invert the top 6 or 8 based on qualifying times. When it gets to 1 lane it's too much like a Nascar race
