Gravel bags $50,000 High Limit win at Lernerville

Sarver, PA —  David Gravel passed Brad Sweet with five laps remaining and sailed to a $50,000 pay day Tuesday night in the Commonwealth Clash for the High Limit Series at Lernerville Speedway.

Sweet, who started on the pole of the 40-lap feature, lost the lead to Kyle Larson at the halfway mark, then regained the point when Larson got loose in the cushion off turn two with 8 laps left..

Gravel made his move low off turn four and was able to clear Sweet through turn one. Ninth starting Rico Abreu slipped past Sweet who drifted into the loose dirt high off turn two.

James McFadden and Cory Eliason rounded out the top-five.
