RHODES RETURNS TO IOWA

NEWTON, Iowa – Harrison Rhodes gets another shot at Iowa Speedway this weekend.

In May, Rhodes finished 37th in the season’s first visit to Iowa after his Chevrolet developed suspension problems. He finished only 42 laps.

“We’re looking for a much better weekend this time around,” said Rhodes, who will be driving the No. 0 Chevrolet for JD Motorsports with Gary Keller in Saturday’s U.S. Cellular 250. “We never really had a chance to show what we could do back in May. I love this track, and this time we plan to step things up dramatically.”

Rhodes enters the race in 23rd in Xfinity points.

Xfinity drivers will practice at 4:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. (ET) Friday. Qualifying is set for 4:45 p.m. Saturday, with the race to follow at 8.
