Default Iowa Corn 250

Never been to an oval race before, but since the Iowa Speedway is less than an hour a way, and it is a nice facility, I thought I better go. The Rolex race there a few years ago was fun, and I've always been a F1 and ChampCar fan...
I will never dis an oval race again!! That was a kick!! Those guys have big attachments ( as Hobbs would say) wheel to wheel at 180+ on that bullring.

The yellows seemed VERY long considering how fast F1 cleans stuff up, but other than that- WOW! Had a nice chat with Robin Miller in the paddock before the race, and ran into many of the drivers...

And, we've got hotel reservations in Austin!!!!!

Fantastic racing, last 50 laps (at something like 18 sec each!)

Lewis, when he got it you were the first person I thought of

I had a bet with Robin Miller he wouldn't last 2 laps but lost that one... figured he take out Danica...

I guess Danika's ovaries didn't help her much in the race, she finished 10th.
