Although a flat tire with just a handful of laps remaining in Saturday’s 5-Hour Energy 250 at Gateway International Raceway deprived Steve Wallace (No. 66 5-Hour Energy Toyota Camry) of what looked to be a sure top-five finish, the young driver isn’t going to let the day’s events get him down. “It’s easy to focus on the fact that we finished 12th, after running in the top-five all day... more.

Hello everyone on The Hot Lap! The Nationwide Series is at Gateway this weekend for the track’s last NASCAR race. I think it is unfortunate that the track is being dropped from the schedule. Gateway has always had some really good racing and I have had a lot of great memories there. I made my first start at the track in my rookie year (2005). We qualified second and won that race. In 2007 we did... more.
