Rain on Saturday morning was a bummer. They just about had the track dried from the first rain when a second small shower went through and had to start over. Oh, well. Can't control the weather.

The race pits looked pretty full and the show was nice--lots of cars I had never seen before. Not huge, but a nice turnout for only the second year.

I haven't spent much time at gateway since the new owners bought it and saved it about 8 years ago--they definitely have put some serious money into it. They just hosted their first-ever nascar cup race last month, so I'm sure it was looking it's best.
