Newton, Iowa — When it’s blisteringly cold in the Winter, race car fans try to hold warm, happy thoughts of fast engines and hot rubber on the pavement. That will certainly be the case in July, 2023, when the Hy-Vee IndyCar Race Weekend returns to the Iowa Speedway. The event will take place from July 21-23, and features the only NTT IndyCar Series doubleheader weekend of the year at the “Fastest Short Track on the Planet.”

This year’s concert lineup showcases two pre-race performances from Carrie Underwood and Zac Brown Band, and two post-race performances from Kenny Chesney and Ed Sheeran.
Both pre-race concerts feature 60-minute performances, and post-race concerts include a 90-minute performance. Carrie Underwood and Kenny Chesney will perform Saturday, July 22.
Zac Brown Band and Ed Sheeran will perform Sunday, July 23.

Free Family Friday welcomes everyone free of charge July 21, where attendees can watch practice sessions ahead of the race weekend. Both single-day and two-day tickets include access to the weekend’s concerts, with single-day tickets starting at $100. You can find tickets, parking and more information at hyveeindycarweekend.com.
