Description
The Iowa Corn 300 is an IndyCar Series race held at the Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa. The first event was held in 2007. From 2007-2013, it was a 250-lap (218.75 miles) race; beginning in 2014, the race was increased to 300 laps (262.5 miles). The race takes place in the "Corn Belt" of the United States, and highlights the league's ties to the ethanol fuel industry.
The first Championship Car race in Iowa took place on July 9, 1915. AAA held a 100-mile (160 km) race at Tri-State Fair Grounds in Burlington, Iowa, won by Bob Burman. Additional AAA races were held at Des Moines Speedway in Valley Junction, a one-mile (1.6 km) wooden board track, in 1915 and 1916. Only two championship car races, won by Ralph Mulford and Ralph DePalma respectively, were held at Des Moines, as the track closed and was dismantled shortly thereafter.
James Hinchcliffe turned around what’s been a mostly disappointing Verizon IndyCar Series season to this point, winning the Iowa Corn 300 on Sunday at Iowa Speedway.
Hinchcliffe, in the No. 5 Arrow Electronics SPM Honda, passed Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden for the lead on Lap 256 of 300 on the 0.894-mile oval and led the rest of the way, with Ed Carpenter Racing’s Spencer Pigot finishing a career-best second.
Championship leader Scott Dixon of Chip Ganassi Racing finished four laps down in 12th place.
