I think Parsons had the crash award there. Pretty spectacular if i remember it right. On a side note the race that ryan neuman and kenny irwin had there for the lead one year was the best pavement race i have ever seen. It seemed like they swapped the lead in 1 and 2 almost every lap for a good chunk of the race. If they run there again i would defiantly go back to watch.

Is there any insight as to how the test went? Was it just RW & 6R there? I'm going to guess that if it went poorly USAC won't be broadcasting it. I heard about it at Terre Haute but didn't hear the date, didn't know it was 4 days from then. I'm not assuming or implying anything but was it just 2 of the big 3 teams or did any single car teams go? Or even get an invite?

My understanding is that there were just the two teams.

It was an open test, USAC emailed the info and anyone was allowed to go but I've only seen info on 3 cars being there.

What would the reason(s) be for testing on this paved, big mile plus track if USAC wasn't considering returning?

I think it would be more a matter of the track's new operators considering a return of the SC cars.

They need to run Gateway with SC cars and Indycar (along with their support series).

USAC just posted on fb they will be returning to Gateway in 2013
