2009 presented the club with new challenges as families continued to feel the pressure of the economy fluctuations and its affect on the weekly and regional races. Although times appeared to be tough, the members continued to support their child's racing program and their club and allow them to have a successful 2009 season.

We were fortunate again to participate in a promotional event during the Nationwide Race at Gateway International Speedway. The members were invited to participate in an on track display during the prerace ceremonies. The track also had their 9th annual March Madness, hosted one of the Region 5 regional events and presented the 2nd annual Gateway 50.

I-70 QMA is a non-profit and member driven organization, it is successful because of the families that belong to the club and the personal time they devote to make the organization a success.
