Notes
Built in 2006, Iowa Speedway has progressive banking from 12-14 degrees in all of its turns. There are 10 degrees of banking on the frontstretch and four degrees on the backstretch. The length of the frontstretch is 1,075 feet, and the backstretch measures 869 feet.
NASCAR Hall of Famer Rusty Wallace led the design team for Iowa in the first- ever driver-designed racetrack. Wallace played an integral part of the overall design and layout of this track.
There have been five truck races held at Iowa. The series competed there once each season from 2009-2011. This track hosted two events last year. The series will return to Iowa the second weekend in September.
Mike Skinner won the inaugural truck race at Iowa, the Lucas Oil 200, on Sept. 5, 2009.
Ryan Blaney is the only driver on the entry list for this weekend's race that scored his first career truck victory at Iowa. Blaney won there last September. Austin Dillon, the 2011 truck champion, recorded his maiden win at this track in July 2010. Dillon is now a competitor in the Nationwide Series.
Two drivers entered made their truck debut at Iowa: Dakoda Armstrong (July 2011) and Justin Jennings (July 2012).
Johnny Sauter is the only driver who has posted top-five finishes in all five truck races at Iowa. Matt Crafton, the current points leader, has finished no worse than ninth in the five events there.
The next race is the inaugural Mudsummer Classic at Eldora Speedway, a half- mile dirt track in Rossburg, Ohio.
