Nationwide Pole Report: Justin Allgaier Takes Control at Gateway

How do you prove to team owners and different sponsors you are worth the money?  You win the pole at Gateway International Speedway, Justin Allgaier who drivers the No. 12 Verizon Wireless Dodge did just that today with a lap of 33.301 (135.131 mph.).  To finish the front row you have Colin Braun driving the No. 98 MasterCraft Doors / Menards Ford with a lap -0.012 behind the leader. 

What should we be watching out for in today’s race?  I think the new face in Brandon McReynolds is the one to watch out for driving the No. 42 GtMrVctns.cm/Adptv One NAPA Brks Dodge starting 25th on the grid on his first ever Nationwide Series race. 

For all of the racing action from Gateway International Speedway you can catch it all on ESPN 2 starting at 3 p.m. EST!

CampingWorld.com 200 postponed due to power outage

Due to an electricity outage, the CampingWorld.com 200 Truck Series race at Gateway International Raceway in Madison, Ill., has been rescheduled to Saturday at 1:30 p.m. ET. The race will be broadcast live on SPEED.

Friday's scheduled event was called because of the length of time needed to make repairs to a blown transformer, which disrupted power at the track and the surrounding area, according to a press release issued by Gateway International Raceway. The electricity went out shortly before drivers were to enter their vehicles on pit road, causing a delay of nearly two hours before the decision was made to postpone the race.

Kevin Harvick won the pole position for the CampingWorld.com 200 in Friday's qualifying session with a lap time of 33.752 seconds. This marks his first pole in the Truck Series.

The postponement sets up a doubleheader of NASCAR racing at Gateway on Saturday. In addition to the Camping World Truck Series, the Nationwide Series will take to the track at 8 p.m. ET for the Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250. Green flag is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET. The Nationwide race will air on ESPN2.

Fans who have tickets for the CampingWorld.com 200 will be allowed to use those tickets to attend the Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250, and vice versa.
