Is this Heaven? No, It’s Iowa
In 32 starts at Iowa Speedway in the NASCAR XFINITY Series, Roush Fenway has recorded five wins, 10 top-five finishes, 16 top-10 finishes and has led 588 laps. 2015 NASCAR XFINITY Series Champion Chris Buescher earned the organization’s most recent victory at the short-track in May 2015.
It’s a Hat-Trick for Stenhouse
Roush Fenway driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. earned three-consecutive victories at Iowa in 2011 and 2012, sweeping both races in 2011. The victories helped catapult Stenhouse to consecutive NASCAR XFINITY Series championships in 2011 and 2012.
Roush Fenway Golden Sombrero
Roush Fenway scored four-consecutive victories at Iowa as Trevor Bayne followed up teammate Stenhouse Jr.’s three-consecutive wins with the victory in the June 2013 event after outdueling Austin Dillon in the closing laps.
An Extra Shot Across the Finish Line
The Aug. 2011 event at Iowa saw Stenhouse and former Roush Fenway teammate Carl Edwards battle for the race lead for much of the evening. In the closing stages, Stenhouse began to pull away before losing an engine off of the final corner. Edwards, with nowhere to go, rear-ended Stenhouse and helped propel the No. 6 Mustang across the finish line to secure the victory and claim a one-two finish for Roush Fenway.
Buescher Gets the W
Roush Fenway driver Buescher led 94 laps en route to the win at Iowa in the May 2015 event. The victory, along with one two weeks later at Dover International Speedway, helped propel Buescher to the 2015 NASCAR XFINITY Series Championship.
Weekend Off
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is off this weekend, but will return next weekend for some road course racing at Sonoma Raceway in Sonoma, Calif.
