Comber's Bertozzi Motorsports is headed to one of dirt racing's biggest indoor stages. Driver West Bertozzi is on the invitation-only Modified entry list for the 2026 Gateway Dirt Nationals at The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis.
The event runs Dec. 3 to 5. Preliminaries are Thursday and Friday; the Modified main event is Saturday, Dec. 5.
What they made
FloRacing published the completed 2026 Modified invitation list on Oct. 29, 2026. West Bertozzi is among 65 drivers invited to race inside The Dome. The Modified division is invitation-only: organizers select the field in rounds rather than opening general registration.
The team's own Facebook page, Bertozzi Motorsports of Comber, has been posting about the trip under GatewayDirtNationals and RoadToTheDome.
Bertozzi Motorsports is teasing a colouring contest for a free shirt. Fans can print the Saunders RaceArt colouring page of the No. 46 City Modified now; the team says full contest details come after the Dome. The colouring page is on the Bertozzi Motorsports Facebook page.
Local roots
West Bertozzi also races Modifieds closer to home. Buxton Speedway results for June 6, 2026 list him in car No. 46, finishing sixth in the Modified A-feature. The team's Facebook page thanked Buxton Speedway for its support ahead of the St. Louis trip.
Why it matters
Gateway Dirt Nationals packs dirt Modifieds into a football stadium for a three-night December show streamed on FloRacing. For a Comber team to land one of 65 Modified invites is a clear local success story ahead of Dirt in December.
The race has not been run yet. This story covers the invitation and entry list, not a finish.
