Curtis Francois Purchases Gateway Motorsports Park
Gateway Motorsports Park is finally where it belongs – locally owned and operated by people who love motorsports and who love the region. Today, Curtis Francois announced that he finalized the local purchase of Gateway Motorsports Park.
“This is a great day for local sports fans and for the St. Louis region,” said Francois, a real estate developer, retired race car driver and owner of Gateway Motorsports Park. “Our region needs significant sporting, entertainment and cultural venues to remain relevant, and GMP is among the finest in the country.”
Curtis Francois announced the addition of Chris Blair as Executive Vice President and General Manager. In addition, plans were announced for the development of a world class karting facility (opened as the Gateway Kartplex in June 2014), an off-road venue (opened in May 2015 with a TORC Series event) and a revitalization plan for the track's road course.
Retired racecar driver and real estate developer Curtis Francois announced the re-opening of the 160-acre facility for the 2012 racing season while plans were underway for the revitalization and purchase.
With one of the largest racing schedules in the track’s history, Francois renamed and rebranded the park Gateway Motorsports Park (Gateway MSP) to better reflect the diverse motorsports events and activities planned for the future.
An important key to reopening Gateway was the commitment to drag racing and the partnership with the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA). Francois inked a long-term deal with the NHRA starting with a signature event September 28-30, 2012.
“Thanks to the grassroots motorsports fans across the country, this event was the most successful NHRA event in track history, setting attendance and track speed records,” said Francois.
