As racing fans in the Midwest are gearing up for the 2024 Castrol Gateway Dirt Nationals, FloRacing subscribers across the globe also can clear their schedules and get the popcorn ready, as all of the action from The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis will be broadcast live on FloRacing. 

This year’s Gateway Dirt Nationals will take place Dec. 5-7, with $5,000 preliminary features on Thursday and Friday setting the stage for another epic $30,000-to-win finale on Saturday night. 

It marks the eighth running of the event, which debuted in 2016 and was not held in 2020 due to COVID-19. Since 2019, Gateway Dirt Nationals has been livestreamed on FloRacing.

This unique race, the only indoor Super Late Model race of the season, requires the transformation of the traditional football stadium (now the home of the United Football League’s St. Louis Battlehawks) into a temporary fifth-mile dirt oval.

By the end of the weekend, winners will be determined in two-divisions – Super Late Model and Open Wheel Modified.

In the featured portion of the action, a field of 150 Super Late Model entries will be split into two groups, with half competing in Thursday’s preliminary race, and half competing Friday. The initial goal, of course, is to earn a spot in Saturday’s finale.
