Gateway Gallery

The Gateway 250 was held July 21 at the Gateway International Raceway. Scott Wimmer won his first career pole. Featuring over 19 rookies, including Landon Cassill, Travis Kittleston and Brad Coleman, and third-generation driver Brad Keselowski, among others. However, the high number of young drivers in the field mixed with a difficult racetrack would combine to form many caution flags. Reed Sorenson, who had won at GIR in 2005, was looking to snap his 61-race losing streak. He would do so, avoiding accidents, and even coming back from an unscheduled green flag pit stop to take his first victory of the season.
