For the second time in as many days, officials at the Iowa Speedway in Newton are basking in some postseason honors from the top race sanctioning body in the world.

This time, Iowa Speedway was touted for hosting one of the three 2012 Top Races on the Nationwide Series schedule. There are 34 races on the Nationwide schedule, one of which was the May 20 Pioneer Hi-Bred 250.

“We are literally overwhelmed that both of NASCAR’s national series’ racing at our track have rated Iowa Speedway as the ‘top race’ of the year,” Iowa Speedway CEO Doug Fritz said.
