Rusty Wallace visited Iowa Speedway on Thursday to check up on the progress being made on the construction of the Speedway.
Rusty was very impressed with progress that has been made on the Speedway and seemed very excited for the 2006 Season. Rusty, along with his wife Patti and daughter Katie, were on their way to Phoenix for this weekend's Nextel Cup event and a stop off in Newton made logical sense.
Rusty had lunch with Speedway Officials then it was off to the track for an in depth tour of the impressive Iowa Speedway complex. Rusty drove the road course, which has recently been graded out and stopped off at the Infield Tunnel to meet some workers from McAninch Corporation to congratulate them on a job well done up until this point.
Iowa Speedway is the first ever driver designed racetrack and is being tagged as a Rusty Wallace Signature Series Track! Iowa Speedway is scheduled to open on Friday, September 15, 2006 with a 250 lap Hooters Pro Cup Series Event, followed up on Saturday Night with the USAC Silver Crown and Sprint Car Series. The ASA Late Models and ARCA REMAX Series will visit the Newton Track on October 14th and 15th.
Well, if they get a Cup race, my family can definitely count on seeing me at least once more each year. In the meantime, lemme go 'head and check those ARCA and USAR schedules...
