I grew up less than 1 1/2 mile from that track, as a kid I used to walk there from home and my dad would come from home to pick me up when the racing was over, there is a lot I could tell you about that place, a lot of good memories. And I am 66 years old, I was there back in the 60's, 70's, 80's, a number of drivers back then said it was one of the best maintain tracks in Iowa In case you are wondering, when I started going there, the coupes racers were slowly being phased out.
Good luck Kenny! I pickup my load from marshaltown a lot never been to a race there yet but I’m heading to Iowa speedway tomorrow for xfinity race are you gonna make it over there this weekend?
I was at I70 speedway last weekend. High limit sprint cars were there. The stands were 1/4 full Friday and just a little less than half full on Saturday. It was sad.
THE STAES OF IOWA AND MO HAS BEEN THE HOT BED OF RACING IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS HERM, NASCAR, XFIN, KNOXVILLE AND SO ON. YOUR LIVING IN A HOT SPOT AREA FOR RACING THIS TIME OF YEAR
My opinion… when a track has no more than 12 cars in any one of its 6 divisions, it’s time to make some changes! So if you can run full fields and get the show done by 10pm, you’re a superstar promoter!
I think it needs to be mentioned that Chase Brisco, rumored to be going to Joe Gibbs Racing, just sank a damn fortune into his sprint car team. But Gibbs doesn't allow his drivers to run dirt (ask C-Bell). So does he go to JGR? or try to find something else?
yes there are some nice local tracks, but the truth comes out 8 minutes so you get the max commercials for the time involved ho ho soo the truth comes out, lol, its interesting on one perspective how to make sucess at a local track, clean track, put your time in, get enough classes for someone to compete, and have the proper truckes and crew to clean up wrecks to keep a tight show.
