The track was paved in 1989, becoming the first paved track in Iowa offering weekly races. It features both quarter-mile and half-mile configurations. 2.

The off-road truck racing convert started and finished in the top-20 driving as a teammate to Gary St. Amant at Bud Gebben's team. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
