Another piece of the 2024 schedule reportedly fell into place on Monday when Jeff Gluck reported that Iowa Speedway would join the Cup Series schedule in 2024. Fans took to their keyboards and gave their own honest thoughts on Iowa entering the 2024 calendar, so, what did they think?
Many fans were excited to see the news of Iowa Speedway being added to the 2024 calendar. They are excited to see a race track that was once abandoned by NASCAR come back for another chance. It is a brand new race track, and some fans who live near the track are excited to finally have NASCAR in their town. Some even asked for IndyCar star Joseph Newgarden to come and race in NASCAR at the track.
