WATERTOWN, Conn.—August 30, 2013— David Gravel will sit out the upcoming West Coast Swing for the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series, which will encompass nine races in 10 nights in Washington, Oregon and California, as he continues to recuperate from a bout of mononucleosis and a double ear infection.
