NASCAR Race in St. Louis

In July the NASCAR Truck Series & Nationwide Car series came to Gateway International Raceway near St. Louis. [I'm not sure why they put "international" into the name. Maybe because it's across the river in Illinois?]

I was luck enough to be a guest of Toyota Racing Development [TRD] for the race again this year. That means we have access everywhere even pit lane during the race. We stood out on the pit road with all the teams during the national anthem of both races.

Friday night I went with Alisa, and Saturday I went with Jason. All of us had a blast! I hope to go again for the October Nationwide Race that will be back at Gateway.

We met and talked to quite a few drivers. Including lots we don't have photos of like ; Carl Edwards, Brad Keselowski, etc.

Here's some of the photos we took...
