NASCAR at WWTR Gateway 2024: start time, TV, broadcast, schedule for Enjoy Illinois 300

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

The track, formerly known as Gateway Motorsports Park, has hosted Cup races for the past two seasons, beginning in 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, edging Busch, who seemed poised for victory until a crash with three laps remaining forced an overtime restart, where Logano won. But Busch would take the win from him the following year, even though the race again went to overtime with him in the lead. The Richard Childress Racing driver, who has led nearly 100 more laps than any other driver in WWTR, would not be denied this overtime restart, despite a tough 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 just two top-five finishes in 14 races. So Sunday’s race on WWTR couldn’t come at a better time for the two-time Cup champion.

Will Busch achieve his second consecutive victory at Gateway? Here you will find all the information he needs to prepare for the Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology Raceway.
