the CUP cars have never run at Gateway so this ought to be an adventure.
they'll say it's St.Louis on T.V. but it's Madison Illinois which is just east of the sheeethole city of East St. Louis, Illinois.
if you're gong to the race, never ever stop in east st. louis. high probabilty of getting robbed or stabbed at a gas station or 7-11.
I spent 15 years in St. Louis and it's a wonderful place. cross the river to the Illinois side and roll your windows up and lock your doors.

no radioactive since they've never raced there, but the food is good.

do we like the end of the coke 600?
i hate crash-fest races, however briscoe and larson both had a win already so checkers or wreckers seemed to apply.
i think if either one was winless it may have been more of a "get the points and not wreck the car" kind of finish.
hamlin and kyle busch have won races due to smashem crashem by other drivers and they lucked out.
that's good for their fan bases, but i think many fans aren't thrilled at the endings lately with wadded up race cars.

check out the paint scheme on the #43 car at 2:03 minute mark.
Bommarito is an auto group dealership in st. louis with black and red colors and then they added the petty blue accent.
i kinda like it.
what do you think?
