Threatening weather and rain forced an early stop to day one of a two-day NASCAR tire test at Iowa Speedway Tuesday. Two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch, and fellow Cup Series Drivers Chase Briscoe and Austin Cindric were limited to two and a half hours of on-track testing in the morning, as they gathered information for the upcoming August 3rd Cup Race at the track. Iowa Speedway President Eric Peterson was pleased with the day, despite the limited time for testing. 

“It’s really exciting to have cars on track today and bring that excitement back to the racetrack after the winter here at Iowa Speedway.”

The Iowa Speedway President also said the opportunity for people to see this year’s NASCAR Cup Series race at the track in-person is dwindling.

“By the end of the week we are going to be out of Cup tickets. So expect an announcement in the next couple of weeks on that sell out. We will still have a few left for Friday and Saturday, and the ARCA Menards Series and the NASCAR XFinity Series.”

The ARCA Menard Series Atlas Roofing 150 will be held at 4:00 p.m. Friday, August 1st. The NASCAR XFinity Series HyVee Perks 250 will start at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 2nd. The NASCAR Cup Series Iowa Corn 350 Powered By Ethanol on Sunday, August 3rd is set to start at 2:30 p.m. Ticket information for all three races is available at iowaspeedway.com
