Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa is a .875-mile tri-oval with variable banking that drives like a much bigger superspeedway. With laps under 18 seconds, “The World’s Fastest Short Track” is exceptionally demanding physically and mentally on drivers. It was designed with the second generation of SAFER Barrier around the entire perimeter of the racetrack.
Doesn't everyone hate it because it's so short?
I think the in-person experience is probably superior to the tv viewer. Generally, I think it's an acquired taste for everyone, but it's unique enough in the racing world that I think it merits attention.
