Gateway International Raceway will expand it’s seating by 10,000 to almost 60,000 seats in time for 1998 events which now include a truck race on 9/19/98 along with CART and BGN races. The track hopes to get a WC date in 1999 but needs to add another 20,000 seats to meet NASCAR’s minimum requirement for seats.( AP )(10-31-97)
