Have you noticed...?

Question

I was watching a little Nationwide series at Gateway and there is some wall missing on the back stretch whats the deal?

Answer 1

I don't think that's what NASCAR had in mind as a "safer barrier"

Answer 2

I didn't even notice. Hmmm... Maybe you should look it up on google.com and see why. Good luck

Answer 3

didnt that happen at las vegas earlies this year....and i think pheonix had that when u exit turn 2

Answer 4

they should put a retractable cable fence along the opening, and make it safe while being able to utilize it's function.

Answer 5

Sounds like it could get ugly for some unlucky driver.

Answer 6

Yep, old track and what's happening..lights going out..half track is in the dark???....they passing walkie talkies to drivers!!.Ok lights back on..whew, thought i was having a senior moment again..lol

T-Bone and Bestanswer said it best...

Answer 7

Tbone said it all.  It's like the local tracks as well, where the cars enter the track.  It should be better protected.

go Jr.>>>>

Answer 8

The track is only 12 years old. The people that run it dont deserve a nascar event. Its sad for all St Louis fans. I live here & will not support that track.

Answer 9

They need to get rid of that.....

Answer 10

I know, I saw that...luckily no one crashed there.

Answer 11

That's old school.  A lot of tracks used to have an opening like that for emergency vehicles etc.  Someone will eventually get turned the wrong way and get severely hurt before they change it.  Mark my words.

Answer 12

T-bone is 100% right about that!!

Answer 13

martinsville got a gate at turn4

Answer 14
