NASCAR-ARCA doubleheader Saturday, June 22 at World Wide Technology Raceway

Gateway 200 presented by CK Power is the third and final race of the $500,000 NASCAR Triple Truck Challenge

May 22, 2019, St. Louis Region – Wide Technology Raceway (formerly known as Gateway Motorsports Park) in Madison, Illinois, will present its annual NASCAR-ARCA doubleheader on Saturday, June 22. It’s an action-packed one-day show featuring two exciting, big-league races on the St. Louis-area’s challenging 1.25-mile oval.

The sixth annual Gateway 200 presented by CK Power for the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series features an exciting mix of future stars and series regulars, including Matt Crafton, Brett Moffitt, Stewart Friesen, Johnny Sauter and local favorite Jordan Anderson. The ARCA Menards Series Day to Day Coffee 150 showcases the stock car racing stars of tomorrow, including Michael Self, Harrison Burton and Christian Eckes.

Adult general admission tickets for this one-day doubleheader start at $40. Kids 15 and under are free. Spectator gates open at 9:30 a.m. with the first practice session at 10:35 a.m. Qualifying begins at 4:30 p.m., with the ARCA race scheduled to start at 6:45 p.m., followed by the NASCAR race at 9 p.m. The driver autograph session is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. and will be located beneath the main grandstand.

NASCAR TRIPLE TRUCK CHALLENGE: WWT Raceway has been selected as one of three tracks to host a lucrative and exciting challenge for NASCAR Gander Outdoors Series drivers. Thanks to the new Triple Truck Challenge, the winner of WWT Raceway’s Gateway 200 presented by CK Power will receive a bonus of $50,000 in addition to the posted purse. If a driver wins all three Triple Truck Challenge races – Texas Motor Speedway, Iowa Speedway and Gateway Motorsports Park – they will receive a bonus of $500,000.

The Triple Truck Challenge is:

• A three-race, series-within-a-series competition.
• Three consecutive races on the 2019 schedule: Texas Motor Speedway (June 7), Iowa Speedway (June 15) and Gateway Motorsports Park (June 22).
• Exclusively for NASCAR Gander Outdoor Truck Series drivers – Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers are not eligible.
• A $50,000 bonus – in addition to the posted purse — for the team/driver who wins one of the three races.
• A $500,000 total bonus – in addition to the posted purses — for the team/driver who wins all three Triple Truck Challenge races.

A $50,000 bonus to the winner of WWT Raceway’s NASCAR Truck Series 200 certainly is a handsome payday unto itself. But if one driver wins Texas and Iowa and is headed for the $500,000 trifecta in St. Louis, the sparks (and probably fenders too) are going to fly.

RUMBLE BEFORE THE ROAR PARTY ZONE: WWT Raceway’s new Rumble Before the Roar ultimate pre-race party zone features DJs, the Gateway Girls, special guest appearances, beer Olympics, t-shirt giveaways and entertainment. The party zone opens at 3 p.m. and runs until the green flag is waved for the INDYCAR race.  Admission is only $25 and includes a souvenir mug, complimentary beer and soft drinks and light snacks. The party zone expanse includes WWT raceway’s all-new cash bar, concession stand and food truck area.  It’s the ultimate way to party with friends before a great night of racing under the lights.   Ticket price increases to $30 at the gate. RBTR is open to adults age 21 and older. Race ticket required for entry.

RIDE TO THE RACETRACK SHUTTLE: WWT Raceway and the St. Clair County Transit District are teaming up to give NASCAR, INDYCAR and NHRA fans a lift to the races. Race fans will receive a round-trip bus ride to WWT Raceway events from the Fairview Heights MetroLink Station for only $5.
