Has anyone else heard this. I know they are not going to run the Nascar series there next year. But they also said that they might either shut it down or possibly sell it. This would suck. I just got the car ready for the track and now they sound like they might not even run next year. The next closest track to me is 4.5 hours away.

 

That would be a shame, it's a nice facility.

 

How is this even possible?

 

I live in Hermann, MO its about 1.5 hours from Gateway. So I have to go down to around Springfield or up to Kansas City, MO. Unless I dont know of one closer.

I presume you mean a quarter-mile track? There are still plenty of eighth-miles closer than 4.5 hours from Hermann.

 

Yes I ment 1/4 mile. I dont know where there are 1/8 miles around here either.
