NASCAR Cup Series rookie Zane Smith hopes his experience at the Iowa Speedway is an advantage next week in the lead up to the Iowa Corn 350. Smith finished fifth in an Xfinity Series race at the Iowa Speedway back in 2019 and is hoping for a good showing in the first Cup Series race at the track on June 16th.

Smith says the racing surface will be different than the last time he was there.

Smith has run well at Iowa and hopes that will continue.

Smith says practice time will be crucial next week to find the right set up for qualifying and the race.

The Cup Series is in Sonoma, California this week for Sunday’s Toyota/Save Mart 350.
