Round 11: Iowa Corn 300, Newton, Iowa. 9th - 10th July.
Round 11: Iowa Corn 300, Newton, Iowa. 9th - 10th July.
The AAA, (American Automobole Association) held the first race in Iowa, at the Tri-State Fair Grounds, in Burlington on July 9, 1915, with a distance of 100 miles (160 km). The AAA also hosted events at Des Moines Speedway, in Valley Junction on a one mile (1.60 km) wooden board track, in 1915 and 1916. The track closed and was dismantled soon after. Construction of the current speedway began towards the end 2005 and was completed in July 2006. Iowa Speedway was the first track to have the SAFER Barrier installed around its entire perimeter and used a second generation of the barrier, which doesn't have a concrete wall behind the energy absorbing structure. The first major event to be held at the new venue, was also the IndyCar Serie's inaugural Iowa Corn Indy 250, on June 24, 2007, which was won by Dario Franchitti, driving a Dallara IR05-Honda HI7R V8 for Andretti Green Racing. From 2014, the race distance was increased to 262.5 miles (422.45 Km) or 300 laps. The Iowa Speedway is the shortest track on the IndyCar calendar, at 0.875 miles (1.408 Km) long, with an average lap time of under 18 seconds. Qualifying is decided by a two-lap speed average. Some trivia: Driver with the most wins: 3, Ryan Hunter-Reay: 2012, 2014, 2015 Most team wins, Andretti Autosport: 7, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015. Track:  Length: 0.894 Miles (1.408 km) Turns: 4 Lap record: Single lap. July 12, 2014, Helio Castroneves, 17.2283 seconds, 186.809 mph (300.64 km/h). Team Penske, Dallara DW12-Chevrolet. Two-lap qualifying average. July 12, 2014. Scott Dixon, L1 - 17.2662 seconds. L2 - 17.2926 seconds, 186.256 mph (299.75 km/h). Chip Ganassi Racing, Dallara DW12-Chevrolet. Last year's winner: Ryan Hunter-Reay, Andretti Autosport, Dallara DW12-Honda Laps: 300 Distance: 262.50 mi (422.452 km) Race Time: 2:03:50 Average Speed: 129.94 mph (209.12 km/h) TV Coverage: NBCSN 5:00pm EST. |

17.2 laps at 300 km/h is insane!

Indycar needs more like this one. Looking forward to it! I've driven past it on the interstate a couple of times. It's in the middle of nowhere, like the Field of Dreams and most of Iowa.

https://youtu.be/4klmJo5cEqQ Just search board tracks and you will find a bunch. They seemed to be everywhere for 2 decades and they vanished quickly due to obvious danger for both competitor and spectator alike, as well as upkeep costs. What a site it must of been! Edit: found it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj4-eiu6kLQ Quote:

My guess is a Penske for the win in Iowa.
board racing must of missed my radar over the years. That is crazy. Some construction project. This was a pretty good motorcycle video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp-9w7f7c60 |

I'm quite looking forward to the race, as it will be in complete contrast to the British GP. You couldn't really get two completely, different open wheel races on the same weekend. |

Chilton's not really a surprise for me, he's gone past that stage now, he's a serious competitor. JPM yet again down on the grid, although not as bad as it has been

It's a clean start but they weren't exactly lined up. Newgarden is in the lead.

I am becoming a huge fan of Josef Newgarden. I already like him but my respect for him is still growing.
He is really competitive at allmost all kinds of tracks this series visits, whilst NOT driving for one of the established top teams. |

lap 85.
Has Newgarden lapped everyone bar Pagenaud, or is that a timing glitch? |

First FCY of the day as RH-R has a massive blow out. It's not been his weekend.

All in all an enjoyable race. Total oversight by me when I missed the move to a fully day event (previously day/night). They need to review the short track oval aero. Last edited by D.R.T.; 10 Jul 2016 at 23:42. |

Dominant performance from Newgarden and Power ultimately did well to snatch 2nd.
