Iowa is one of the most challenging tracks that we go to, but the team has some amazing pedigree there and I can't wait to drive our short oval package for the first time. On top of that, the support of Hy-Vee is incredible and the energy of the fans fuels us. We'll be pushing hard to put on a great show for them. I can't wait to get there and get started and maybe see some cool concerts along the way."
