Brad Keselowski revealed information about the careful selection process that NASCAR goes through when choosing Cup race tracks. The NASCAR Cup Series is preparing for its inaugural race at Iowa Speedway, which has been open since 2006 and is widely considered one of NASCAR’s best-owned facilities.
Brad Keselowski, the 2012 NASCAR Cup Series champion and owner-driver of RFK Racing, is among the many drivers eager for the move to Iowa. He believes that Iowa represents a region of the country that is excited about racing and is ready to fully embrace it from both a business and entertainment standpoint.
Keselowski also acknowledged that NASCAR sometimes prioritizes flashy locations like New York City or street races in Chicago over passionate fans. However, he expressed empathy for the sport, recognizing the difficult balance that must be struck when making decisions about race dates. NASCAR must cater to its existing fan base while also exploring new locations. Therefore, Keselowski is thrilled that NASCAR has chosen to give Iowa a chance.
Like Keselowski, the majority of the NASCAR community is eager to see how the race weekend at Iowa Speedway will unfold. The success of the event will determine the future of Cup races at the track.
