NASCAR to add Iowa Speedway to 2024 Cup Series schedule: Sources
NASCAR is expected to add Iowa Speedway to its 2024 Cup Series schedule, with an announcement likely to come as soon as Tuesday, sources briefed on the matter said. Kim Reynolds’ office announced a news conference for Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. CT to “announce a new major sports and entertainment event to be held in Iowa in 2024.” The track’s website briefly listed a “2024 NASCAR Weekend” for the Cup Series on June 16, 2024, before it was removed Monday. Adding Iowa to the 2024 schedule gives NASCAR another short track on its 38-race schedule with two points races apiece at Bristol Motor Speedway, Richmond Raceway and Martinsville Speedway, plus exhibition races at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and North Wilkesboro Speedway. Then, as NASCAR became willing to try new venues like the Los Angeles Coliseum and Chicago Street Course, Iowa faded as somewhat of an afterthought — particularly after the second-tier Xfinity Series and third-tier Truck Series stopped racing there.
