Iowa Speedway to undergo $20 million repaving project on Monday

Iowa Speedway will start a $20 million renovation project, including a complete repaving of the racing surface on Monday. Drivers have mixed reactions; Ryan Blaney appreciates the track's existing character but hopes for progressive banking after the repave. Ryan Preece supports the decision based on visible wear on the surface, while Christopher Bell sees potential for wider racing grooves post-repave. In other news, Dean Thompson will join Haas Factory Team's O'Reilly Auto Parts Series roster next season, expanding their lineup to three cars.
