Even though the 2012 season was the biggest, loudest and most critically acclaimed season Iowa Speedway has had to date, track officials are already looking forward to 2013.

On top of winning numerous NASCAR awards for events, helping launch the career of a new NASCAR Sprint Cup driver and forging new bonds with different series, 2012 also featured improved attendance and a general feeling of further improvement for a track that continues to make a name for itself.

“2012 was a great year for Iowa Speedway,” Iowa Speedway CEO Doug Fritz said. “Obviously with a few events winning awards is great accolades for us, but from a fan’s perspective, we’ve only heard positive things. We want to continue improving the fan’s experience.”
