Other Series Racing

Minneapolis-based Target celebrates its 23rd anniversary in motorsports with Chip Ganassi Racing in 2012. Since its formation, Target Chip Ganassi Racing (TCGR) has amassed 88 victories and nine titles (1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011), including four Indianapolis 500 victories (2000, 2008, 2010, 2012).

“The racing at Iowa Speedway is great for the fans. Competing at night under the lights at the Iowa Corn Indy 250 is one of the most exciting races of the IZOD IndyCar Series season for the Novo Nordisk Chip Ganassi Racing team. Charlie and the team tested at Iowa last week and are looking forward to a very competitive weekend."

“I love the fans in Iowa. The heat races will put a different twist on Friday and that should be a lot of fun for the Service Central Chip Ganassi Racing team. It really can’t get much better than Saturday night racing in Iowa and we’re all looking forward the weekend ahead.”

The IndyCar Series will conclude a string of five-straight race weekends Saturday night at Iowa Speedway, site of one of driver JR Hildebrand’s best drives of his rookie season in 2011. Hildebrand led on the Newton bullring, and qualified and finished in fourth place in his first IndyCar start on the high-banked short track.

With an average finish of 14th on the three short track races that Josh Williams and his Josh Williams Motorsports (JWM) team has competed on during the course of the 2012 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards season, odds are that the team’s chances of improving on that statistic will improve in Sunday’s running of the Herr’s Chase The Taste 200 at Winchester (Ind.) Speedway.

Sherwood Park, Alberta’s Noel Dowler has a jammed week of appearances as he prepares for the EMCO 200 presented by Niagara Plumbing Supply & McKeough Supply, round number four of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series this weekend at Delaware Speedway near London, ON.

NASCAR star Kyle Busch passed for the lead on Lap 212 and held off a late charge from ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards competitor Chase Elliott to win the Rowdy 251 at Berlin Raceway, one of the highlights of the first season of ARCA CRA Super Series racing under the new agreement between the sanctions.

Discounted tickets for Sunday's Herr's Chase the Taste 200 at Winchester Speedway remain available at nine Menards stores near the track.

“We recently tested at Iowa so we know what to expect going back there apart from one big change. That is going to be the reduced down force that we didn’t try but know should be ok. In the past this track has been a lot of fun, it’s a small 7/8 mile oval which when you look at it does look very small but it’s amazing how much grip it has with our cars."

After netting a career-best finish of ninth in his most recent ARCA Racing Series race at Elko (Minn.) Speedway earlier this month, Mason Mingus and Win-Tron Racing reunite together after a two-race break for Sunday afternoon’s Herr’s Chase The Taste 200 at Winchester (Ind.) Speedway.
