One of America's newest race tracks, Iowa Speedway is located in Newton, Iowa and has been in operation since 2006. The 7/8 mile oval was designed and built under the auspices of NASCAR champion Rusty Wallace at a cost of approximately $70 million. The D-shaped oval is patterned after Richmond International Raceway, scene of some of Wallace's greatest success during his career.
Purchased by NASCAR in 2013, Iowa Speedway has a seating capacity of more than 30,000, together with a unique multi-tiered Recreational Vehicle viewing area along its 869' long backstretch. The track hosts NASCAR Nationwide Series, Camping World Truck and K&N Series events annually, along with IndyCar Series and Firestone Indy Lights races. In addition to the ovals, Iowa Speedway features a nine turn, 1.3 mile road course utilizing most of the main oval along with a highly technical infield section which was the scene of GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series events.
