ARCA Series returning to Iowa Speedway in mid-July

The ARCA Menards Series visits Iowa Speedway for the Calypso Lemonade 150 on July 15 as the only stock car series on the track’s 2023 schedule.

And starting June 5, fans wishing to attend can “Save Big Money” on adult general admission tickets by purchasing them in advance at Central Iowa-area Menards locations for just $15, a savings of $10 from the race day price at the gate.

Last year’s race was won by Atlanta native Brandon Jones, who drives the Menards Chevrolet in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for Dale Earnhardt, Jr.’s JR Motorsports organization.

Jones, who is a five-time Xfinity Series winner, scored the second of his three 2022 ARCA Menards Series wins last year at Iowa Speedway.

In 2006, the ARCA Menards Series was the first racing series to compete at the then-new 0.875-mile oval in a 250-lap race won by Steven Wallace, son of NASCAR Hall of Famer and track designer Rusty Wallace.

There have been a total of 16 ARCA Menards Series races at Iowa Speedway with 15 different winners. Ty Gibbs is the only multiple-winner, going to victory lane in both 2020 and 2021.

Fans will have a full day of activities on race day with practice at 2 p.m., General Tire Pole Qualifying at 3:30 p.m., a driver autograph session under the grandstands at 6 p.m. and the Calypso Lemonade 150 at 7 p.m.

Race fans can visit Menards stores in Marshalltown, Altoona, Ankeny, Des Moines, Ames, Grimes and Clive to purchase advance discount tickets.
