Stock Car Scoop: Should Gateway Remain on Cup Schedule?

Kyle Busch‘s third victory of the season was his first at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway and came at the end of a marathon Enjoy Illinois 300, lasting five and a half hours with multiple red flags.

Adam Cheek and Anthony Damcott discuss the racing in St. Louis and brake rotor issues that plagued the field. Were the issues enough to put this track in jeopardy of returning to the NASCAR Cup Series schedule in 2024?

Plus, the hosts take a closer look at Carson Hocevar and Corey LaJoie‘s respective debuts in new rides. Did Hocevar put LaJoie in a difficult position with Spire Motorsports going forward?

The only tracks that should be on the schedule are tracks where my favorite driver wins…and certainly no tracks that have hidden zombie robots attacking brake rotors.

NO!!!! It’s an OVAL! It’s not a cookie cutter D-shaped track. Get rid of the cookie cutter copies.
