Iowa Speedway boasts sellout for first NASCAR Cup Series race
NEWTON, Iowa — There are still 195 days until the first NASCAR Cup Series race goes green at Iowa Speedway but officials are boasting a sellout already.
Officials said grandstands and camping sold out for the inaugural Cup Series race — the Iowa Corn 350 powered by Ethanol.
NASCAR announced the race weekend in early October. The NASCAR Xfinity Series and ARCA Menards Series will join the Cup Series there that weekend.
Officials say “only a select number of tickets” remain for those races. Those tickets are available on the track website but will likely go fast.
Some reserved tickets for the Cup Series race are still available on SeatGeek.
The last time any of the three NASCAR national series last raced at Iowa Speedway was in 2019. ARCA has carried the torch since 2020 while IndyCar has raced there in 2020 and 2022-23.
Brad Keselowski and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. lead the way in Xfinity Series wins at Iowa, with three apiece. Brett Moffitt, Erik Jones and Timothy Peters lead in Truck wins at the track, with two apiece.
