“Iowa is a wacky place. Someone once told me, your feet drive like it’s short track and your hands drive like it’s an intermediate track and that’s very accurate. For being a short track a lot of intermediate theory does apply there and I think part of the reason it does that is because the place widens out so much.

It really is a little gem of a place and it produces great racing.”
