The NASCAR Cup Series will return to the Iowa Speedway in 2025. The Hy-Vee 350 will run on August third with the Xfinity series race a day early. The Cup Series debuted at the Newton track in June and Iowa Speedway president Eric Peterson says he was confident of its return.

Peterson says the fans showed why Iowa Speedway deserves a spot on the Cup Schedule.

A new race in Mexico City takes the mid-June spot on the schedule and that opened up the date in early August.

Peterson says the racing surface received positive feedback after a partial repave and there are no plans for any further changes.
