Iowa Speedway is set to welcome the USAC Silver Crown Series to its NASCAR weekend, debuting the inaugural Iowa 100 on August 8.
Reviving a Legend
The new race will follow the HyVee Perks 250, creating a double‑header that pairs stock‑car action with the series’ celebrated open‑wheel tradition.
Eric Peterson, president of Iowa Speedway, said the addition enriches the fan experience and showcases the track’s commitment to diverse motorsports.
The weekend will also feature the ARCA Menards Series and the NASCAR Cup Series, offering a full slate of racing that spans from high‑speed stock cars to historic open‑wheel machines.
Fans can expect a rare sight of two distinct racing formats sharing the same venue in a single evening, a combination that highlights the track’s versatility.
The Silver Crown Series, known for its storied championships, last visited Iowa Speedway more than a decade ago, making this return a milestone for the discipline.
Peterson emphasized that the event aims to broaden the track’s motorsports offerings and attract a new audience eager to witness the blend of speed and engineering.
With the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race serving as the opening act, the August 8 schedule promises a dynamic showcase of American racing heritage.
