About World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway

World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway is a multi-purpose motorsports complex located at 700 Raceway Blvd in Madison, Illinois. The venue opened in 1967 as Gateway International Raceway, was renamed Gateway Motorsports Park in 2012, and became World Wide Technology Raceway in 2019 under a naming-rights agreement. Owned and operated by Gateway Acquisitions Inc., it has a capacity of approximately 40,000, with configurations that can vary by event and temporary grandstands used for major race weekends.

The facility is recognized as the premier motorsports venue in the St. Louis metropolitan area and one of the most prominent racing venues in the Midwest. Its schedule includes NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series racing, the NTT IndyCar Series, NHRA national event competition, road-course and sports-car events, karting, driving experiences, car shows, and track-rental or testing days. The track’s return to the NASCAR Cup Series schedule in 2022 marked a significant milestone for both the venue and the region’s motorsports profile.

World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway is known for combining several racing environments on one site, including its egg-shaped superspeedway oval, drag strip, road course, and karting facility, with the Gateway Arch visible from the grounds.

Location & Transportation

World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway is located at 700 Raceway Blvd, Madison, IL 62060 — across the Mississippi River from downtown St. Louis and connected to the region by I-55/I-70 and the nearby interstate network.

Driving and Parking: World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway is primarily a car-access venue. On-site parking is available, and the facility is reached via I-55/I-70 and the surrounding interstate network serving Madison, Illinois, and St. Louis. For major NASCAR and IndyCar events, parking lots and access roads can fill well before race time, so arriving early is the best way to avoid the heaviest congestion.

Transit: Public transit is limited for this venue. There is no direct rail connection to the raceway grounds, and transit is not a practical primary option for most event attendance.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are available at the raceway. After major races, expect longer waits and traffic surges as large crowds leave the grounds at the same time.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is concentrated across the river in downtown St. Louis and in nearby Illinois suburbs such as Collinsville and Fairview Heights. Downtown St. Louis offers the broadest hotel selection within a short drive of the raceway.

Venue Navigation

World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway is an outdoor motorsports complex with multiple race surfaces, grandstand areas, gates, infield spaces, and midway activity. Understanding your assigned gate, grandstand, and viewing area before arrival helps make race day smoother, especially during major NASCAR, IndyCar, and NHRA events.

Entrances and Access: Multiple gates serve the grandstands, infield, and midway areas. Gates typically open several hours before major events, often as early as 9 a.m. on race days. Reviewing your assigned gate and grandstand before arrival helps speed entry at this multi-gate facility.

Seating Levels: Spectator grandstands line the main oval frontstretch, with general seating organized by grandstand sections and rows. Additional viewing areas serve the drag strip and road course configurations, giving the facility different layouts depending on the event.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and parking are available for guests attending events at the raceway. ADA accommodations are handled by the venue in advance of event day.

Getting to Your Section: The raceway is an outdoor facility with open grounds, walking routes, and grandstand stairs. Comfortable footwear is recommended, and staff and signage help direct guests to grandstands, infield areas, and other event spaces.

Dining Options

Inside World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway

Outside the Venue — Madison and St. Louis Area

Dining options are limited immediately around the track. The broader restaurant scene is across the river in St. Louis and in nearby Illinois communities such as Collinsville and Fairview Heights, which are practical areas to consider before or after an event at the raceway.

Getting Ready for Your World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an outdoor motorsports complex with large race-day crowds, open grounds, and heavy arrival traffic for major events.

Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service can become congested with large race-day crowds. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
Arrive early. Arrive early for major events, as parking lots and access roads fill before race start and departure traffic is heavy.
Wear the right footwear. World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway is an outdoor facility with open grounds, walking, and grandstand stairs, so comfortable supportive shoes are a smart choice.
Dress in layers. The raceway is open air and exposed to summer heat, sun, and possible rain. Bring sun protection, hydration, and layers for variable conditions.
Build extra time into your transit plan. Major event traffic can build before race start and after the checkered flag, so give yourself a larger buffer for parking, walking, and exiting the grounds.
Know your entrance. Your assigned gate and grandstand help guide you through this multi-gate facility, and checking that information before arriving saves time once you reach the raceway.
Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
