Road Course Racing Attracts Even More NASCAR Regulars
This weekend is the debut of the Iowa Speedway as a new location for the Rolex Sports Car Series — both GT and DP classes. Five time IROC champion Mark Martin is the latest NASCAR driver looking for a new thrill by driving a Daytona Prototype on a road course (last week Jimmy Johnson drove a DPáin the Brumos 250 at Daytona).
Iowa Speedway is Rusty Wallace’s new short oval track. Despite the small facility (Hurley Haywood called the infield road course “…..little more than a go-kart track” (during the Speed telecast)and not being in a major TV market — the fact that Grand Am added it to the race schedule demonstrates the strong demand for new road course venues.
