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.
A lot of excitement here from Skewcar
As a massive baseball fan and a massive Field of Dreams fan, I approve of this gif.

Blake Anderson is excited to finally see a race in his area of the country.
KarmaMJO on Reddit says that this is the track that can put on a good show with the current Next-Gen car.
The IndyCar weekend probably had a lot of influence on NASCAR going to Iowa.
Some fans, however, are a bit more skeptical about the race. They particularly look at the questionable short track product as a reason to wonder whether or not the race will be good. Some are also upset that Montreal did not work out to join the 2024 calendar.
Rusty Shackleford says that the cars will make the track not look as good as it could.
NASDude is upset that Montreal is not joining the 2024 calendar.
Andrew is concerned about the current state of the short track package.
Julian Spivey does not want a short track added with the short track package the way that it is.
It seems that way a-dawg.
Some fans are excited to see Iowa back, but the short track package is their concern. The short track package has produced some lackluster short track races in the Next-Gen era. As a result, some like the move, but they are hesitant about how the racing product could be.
I’m assuming Everett Martell is talking about the short track package.
Eric_22 says the racing product will be “subpar” if the short track package does not get better.
BeamKings says a “disaster car” will ruin Iowa despite it being a great race track.
A few NASCAR content creators and drivers gave their thoughts on Iowa coming to the 2024 schedule. The reception from this group seemed to be generally positive.

In fairness to DannyB, how many of you were planning a trip to Iowa soon? Still, this is great for the state to gain a NASCAR race.
Eric Estepp is excited, but the potential loss of Montreal is a major disappointment.
Chase Briscoe is a fan of the move
Count Kyle Weatherman in.
ElitePrecision29 is hoping for a better short track package.
Myatt Snider is excited to see Iowa return, calling it a “phenomenal” race track.
Iowa Speedway returning has really struck a nerve whether it is a fan, a driver, or a YouTuber. The return of Iowa Speedway is set to be one of the most interesting dates on the 2024 calendar.

On February 17, Ubisoft released a trailer that confirmed that NASCAR would be included in The Crew Motorfest’s next season update. Details were limited at the time, but in a press release issued today, Ubisoft revealed the full details of the update ahead of its March 4 launch.
Ubisoft says drafting will affect car speed and help save fuel, implying that drafting will be a huge factor in the game, at least with these cars. You can check out this and much more on Ubisoft’s official post linked below
Earlier this Tuesday, the official The Crew Motorfest account clarified confusion around the NASCAR bundles. The Crew Credit (CC) bundles only include cosmetic team liveries, not additional cars. The 3 base Next Gen cars (Ford Mustang Dark Horse, Toyota Camry XSE, and Chevrolet ZL1) are part of the free Season 9 update and can be purchased separately.
Mitch Rasmussen, NASCAR’s Senior Director of Interactive, said in the press release:
We’re excited to bring our iconic brand to life in The Crew Motorfest. This collaboration represents another important step in our strategy to bring NASCAR into the digital spaces and places where next generation fans spend their time, giving players new ways to interact with the culture and communities they love.
The content arrives as part of Year 3 Season 9 and is officially licensed by NASCAR. You can watch the first trailer and learn more in the article linked below

Four road courses on the schedule, and somehow that’s enough to spark one of the biggest debates in the garage. After recent comments from Brad Keselowski questioning the business value of road racing, the conversation has picked up serious steam. Is NASCAR leaning too far into it, or is the current balance about right?
There are valid points on both sides, from sponsorship realities to fan traditions to competitive diversity. Some tracks have gained traction. Others have struggled. The question isn’t just whether road courses belong, but how many make sense within a 36-race season. It’s less about extremes and more about direction. And with future schedule changes always looming, this debate probably isn’t settled anytime soon.
