I'm glad they brought the Truck Series back to Gateway in 2014, and that they have been racing there every year since. I'm glad the Cup Series finally has a race there now. I think it is a total disappointment, and a sin, in the hearts of racing fans, like myself, that the Xfinity Series doesn't have a race at Gateway right now. Gateway to me, is a track, that played an important role, in shaping the history, of the NASCAR Xfinity Series, from the time they first raced there, in '97, til the last race there, in 2010. If we can get the Xfinity Series back to Gateway, and complete the trifecta, for NASCAR in St. Louis, that would be a total win for me.
