NEWTON, Iowa – For the first time, the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour will race at Iowa Speedway in 2020. The 36th season of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour will feature a mix of historic short tracks on the eastern seaboard before visiting central Iowa. This marks the first time in history that the unified Whelen Modified Tour will journey this far west.

The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour will be in action during NASCAR Xfinity Series U.S. Cellular 250 weekend at Iowa Speedway July 31-August 1. The Whelen Modified Tour is NASCAR’s oldest running division and the only open-wheel class. The tour features a passionate, veteran-laden core of drivers as well as emerging young talent.

“I don’t know that I’ve ever felt this much excitement about an upcoming season,” said Iowa Speedway PresidentDavid Hyatt. “From the fans to competitors and media, it’s industry-wide excitement and we are already looking forward to it.

“The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and Iowa Speedway are a perfect match.”
