Track News: Iowa Speedway won’t be repaved ahead of ’25 season

After a partial repave earlier this year, more of Iowa Speedway will not be repaved for next year, track president Eric Peterson said Thursday.

NASCAR, which owns the track, partially repaved all four corners of the 7/8-mile track in May. Straightaways on the front stretch and backstretch retained their original pavement from 2006.

Through both the NASCAR Cup Series weekend in June and the NTT IndyCar Series weekend in July, the partial repave drew mixed reviews from drivers in both series.  Des Moines Register
