Third annual NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Drivin’ For Linemen 200 June 25 at Gateway Motorsports Park - Speedway Digest

“Three races, one ticket!” is the new slogan for this year’s highly-anticipated NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event at Gateway Motorsports Park. The third annual NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Drivin’ For Linemen 200 will be accompanied this year by the USAC Silver Crown Series and ARCA Midwest Tour Late Models.

The Drivin’ For Linemen 200 delivers some of the most popular NASCAR drivers and teams to the St. Louis region, including 2015 winner Cole Custer, 2013-2014 series champion Matt Crafton and rookie sensation Rico Abreu. Seventeen-year-old Custer thrilled the NASCAR fans with a daring move on the final restart to win the 2015 Drivin’ For Linemen 200 by only 0.871-seconds over Spencer Gallagher. Driver introductions are slated for 7 p.m. with the green flag at 7:30 p.m.

The USAC Silver Crown Series race brings open-wheel excitement to GMP’s June 25 tripleheader. The wingless “big cars” of open-wheel racing boast a colorful history dating back to 1971. Past USAC Silver Crown Series champions include: A.J. Foyt (1972), Mario Andretti (1974), Missouri’s hometown hero Ken Schrader (1982) and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champions Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart (1991 and 1995, respectively). California’s Kody Swanson is the series’ defending champion, having clinched titles in 2014 and 2015.

The 40-lap, 50-mile ARCA Midwest Tour race is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. Two ARCA Midwest races have been run so far in 2016 and Ty Majewski of Seymour, Wisconsin, has won both. Majewski drives in this Late Model stock car series for the legendary Ruolo Brothers and is a member of Roush Fenway’s driver development program. Another driver to watch in this event is 17-year-old Natalie Decker, a four-time kart racing champion from Wisconsin.
