Sounding Off – Cameron Hayley:
Does Gateway race like a short track?
“Yeah, it’s a bigger Martinsville to be honest, and there’s really nothing on the schedule that even compares to that. The long straightaways, and the corners are still super-fast. Breaks are huge there, I mean we’re carrying so much speed down the straightaway, but then to get in those corners and basically stop. So, it’s very comparable to Martinsville, but at the same time it’s so fast that it races just like a mile-and-a-half so, it’s a really difficult race track.”
