World Wide Technology Raceway has quickly become a favorite among fans for its exciting racing in the NASCAR Cup Series. The venue made its debut in the Cup Series in 2022 with the NextGen car and has already seen some thrilling racing, with Austin Cindric capturing a dramatic win in 2024. Despite its relatively recent entry into the Cup Series, Gateway has proven to be a track that delivers excitement for both drivers and fans.
Looking ahead to the future, Gateway is expected to make a significant move onto the NASCAR calendar by hosting a playoff race in 2025.

The 1.25-mile track has seen a strong showing from Ford and Chevrolet, with Toyota yet to secure a win at Gateway in the Cup Series.
In addition to Gateway, other tracks such as Darlington Raceway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway are also anticipated to join the NASCAR playoff lineup. World Wide Technology Raceway has gained a reputation for drawing large crowds and providing exciting racing over the past three years, and it seems poised to be rewarded for its success. As Gateway continues to make waves in the NASCAR world, fans can look forward to more thrilling races at this dynamic track.
