Hey,

Has anyone gone to this race?

It looks like the grandstands are not totally sun baked(?)

Any seating recommendations?

Lodging recommendations?

Thanks,

Rog

I've been to Iowa Speedway before - it's a great place for racing.

However, I've never been a spectator there. I'd recommend going as high as possible - some prefer the final turn, others prefer turn 1, and some prefer the start-finish line - your preference. Most seats appear to be in the sun - so bring sunscreen and a hat.

If I remember right, I stayed like 20 miles away as the hotel prices came down quite a bit that far out.

Des Moines isn't too far away.   There's a barbecue restaurant named "Smokey D's" just off I-80 that I'm pretty doggone fond of...  YMMV
