Iowa Speedway deserves a Cup race every year. And #NASCAR fans deserve a broadcast like that every week. Fun night.

Where does Iowa Speedway’s Cup debut rank among inaugural races in the modern era?
I’d say pretty high.#NASCAR

Less than five years ago, the future of Iowa Speedway looked dire because of the pandemic & all the financial trouble that came along w/ it.
This weekend, it hosted an entertaining NASCAR Cup race, which many thought could never happen.
This was a hit. Keep it on the schedule.

Can everyone apologize to @NASCAR? This is much better than everyone expected, I know Christopher Bell’s comments didn’t help much.

Safe to say the inaugural Cup Series race at Iowa was a success!
Easily one of the best short oval races since the Next Gen car debuted.#NASCAR
