Iowa Speedway Needs Another Race, More Promotion for Success
July 26, 2021
With the NASCAR national series and the NTT IndyCar Series off during the Summer Olympics, the ARCA Menards Series is the only series that continues to race during this time. Moreover, ARCA was the only series this year to race at Iowa Speedway. The 0.875-mile short track hosted ARCA for the 15th time, and Ty Gibbs went to victory lane on Saturday (July 24) night.
The track, owned by NASCAR, had the opportunity to shine. With a reported seating capacity of 30,000 and the grandstands opened to full capacity, the Shore Lunch 150 could have shined in racing action with a packed crowd cheering at a short track. Instead, the attendance mirrored the race itself, which Gibbs led 149 of the 150 laps: yawn.

“Same thing I planned on this year before I got hurt,” Gray told
Frontstretch prior to the ARCA Menards Series race at Iowa Speedway. It’s full speed ahead after spring’s off-track car crash took him out of competition for 13 weeks.

4 Additions to Superstar Racing Experience Season 2
IROC with a grassroots twist was a big hit but what about next season? And now for our next act.
What that next act entails for Superstar Racing Experience remains to be seen, but there will be a second season of IROC with a grassroots twist on CBS.
Tony Stewart helped conceive the series and captured the inaugural championship last weekend at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, but the results weren’t really the point. The point was to have fun, and hope that other people had fun watching us have fun, and I think that’s what happened, Stewart said.
