After six intense heat races and a pair of B-Mains, the field is set for Thursday's Castrol Gateway Dirt Nationals preliminary feature at The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis. 

Heat races have an exciting feel despite only being eight laps and leaving the drivers with no margin of error.

The track is also on the smaller side, so it makes it more challenging for drivers to gain an advantage. They also have to watch out for collisions, which can pause the race and potentially get drivers out of rhythm.
