Just when David Gravel started to secure a stronghold over the early World of Outlaws championship picture, circumstances pulled him right to his closest pursuers.
Gravel was involved in an incident and subsequent disagreement with Buddy Kofoid with 13 laps to go in Saturday night’s race at Paducah International Raceway. It happened when Kofoid carried a big run down the backstretch into a slider that intended to overtake Gravel and Bill Balog for second.
Balog attempted a crossover on Kofoid but turned right into Gravel. That contact sent Gravel onto the path of Brock Zearfoss and sent both of their cars tumbling.
Under the red, Gravel left his destroyed car and ran a sprint down to Kofoid, where they exchanged words on the matter.
