NASCAR at WWTR Gateway 2024: Start time, TV, streaming, lineup for Enjoy Illinois 300

NASCAR gathers near the Gateway Arch in St. Louis – specifically, just across the Mississippi River in Madison, Illinois – for a Cup Series race at World Wide Technology Raceway.

The raceway, previously known as Gateway Motorsports Park, has hosted Cup races for the past two seasons, kicking off the month of June. And it has proven to be a great track for both Joey Logano and Kyle Busch.

Logano won the first race at WWTR in 2022, beating Busch, who seemed headed for victory until an accident with three laps remaining forced an overtime restart, where Logano prevailed. But Busch would get his win the following year, despite the race going to overtime again with him in the lead. The Richard Childress Racing driver, who has led nearly 100 more laps than any other driver at WWTR, would not be denied on this overtime restart, despite a hard charge from Denny Hamlin and Logano.

The 2024 season has been a struggle so far for Busch, who has yet to record a win and has only two top-five finishes in 14 races. So, Sunday’s race at WWTR couldn’t come at a better time for the two-time Cup Series champion.
