The track is owned and operated by U.S. Motorsport Corporation and designed by former NASCAR Champion Rusty Wallace, now an anchor and analyst for ABC-TV/ESPN. Iowa Speedway is designed for year-round use and includes 30,000 permanent grandstand seats. It was designed as the first track in the world to protect fans and drivers through the use of SAFER barrier technology surrounding the entire perimeter of the track.
Iowa Speedway is the nation's most state-of-the-art motorsports facility. Located just south of I-80 in Newton, Iowa, the track showcases the first-ever driver designed speedway.
