Indy Car Series Returning to Iowa Speedway in Newtown

Indy Car racing will return to the Iowa Speedway in Newton. Hy-Vee CEO Randy Edeker announced Thursday that the company will be the lead sponsor of races in mid-2022. The Hy-Vee Deals-dot-com 250 will be July23rd, followed by the Hy-Vee Salute to Farmers 300 on July 24th. Edeker said sponsoring Indy Car racing at the Newton track will be a showcase for Iowa, since the races will be broadcast internationally. There had been concern the Iowa Speedway might close – but the city’s mayor says he’s been working the past 14 months to secure Indy Car racing’s return to Newton.
