Gateway International Raceway officials say the facility returned to full power Tuesday and is prepared for this weekend's NASCAR Busch Series and ARCA events.

Much of the area has been without power since a pair of storms last week. According to a release on the track's Web site, the maintenance staff at Gateway has been working around the clock to get everything prepared for the race weekend.

"All events on Friday and Saturday will run on schedule and according to plan," the release said.

The Busch Series is set for one hour of practice at 6:15 Friday night, followed by a half-hour rookie practice. The ARCA race follows.

Saturday features a full slate of activities, with practice beginning at 10 a.m., qualifying at 3:35 p.m. and the Busch Silver Celebration 250 at 7 p.m.
