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.”

News & Notes:

  • Chassis Chatter…The No. 13 ThorSport Racing team will unload chassis No. 11 for Saturday night’s Drivin’ for Linemen 200 at Gateway Motorsports Park (GMP). This is the same chassis that Hayley piloted to a ninth-place finish at Martinsville Speedway earlier this season.   
  • “Show-Me” State Stats… Hayley has one start at Gateway Motorsports Park in 2015. The ThorSport Racing driver started ninth, and finished fifth.
  • Rearview Mirror – Iowa… Hayley started second, tying his career-best start, ran consistently inside the top-five throughout the 200-lap event, and finished third. The top-five result was Hayley’s season-best finish.
