It was a dream in 1995, a work in progress in 1996, a construction project still giving off dust in 1997 and it remains a work-in-progress, constantly looking to improve. Now, in its 11th season, Gateway International Raceway is positioned as one of America’s premier motorsports facilities, and certainly one of the most versatile.
The new Gateway opened in 1997 with the Motorola 300, which played to a virtual sellout crowd that filled its grandstand seats to watch Paul Tracy overtake Patrick Carpentier in the finals laps to score the victory.
In 2001, the Indy Racing League debuted on the oval, bringing the stars of the Indianapolis 500 from the Brickyard to our backyard. Two-time Indy 500 champion Al Unser Jr. claimed the first Gateway Indy 250 title.
The track that many describe as a “flat Darlington” made headlines in 2004 when David Starr won the final multi-“green, white, checker” finish in NASCAR with an exciting finish that still ranks as one of the best in Truck Series history..
St. Louis’ First Family of NASCAR, the Wallaces, were honored here in 2004 with the Wallace Family Tribute 250, the first time brothers Rusty, Mike, and Kenny raced together in a Busch Series event together. In honor of what the Wallace family has done for motorsports in the St. Louis area, the grandstands in Turns 1 and 2 were re-named after them.
