Iowa Speedway Concerts

Great track to see a race. Beautiful facility, clean and easy free parking. INDYCAR was a fantastic, the cars could pass just about anywhere on the track. The indyLights or NXT Cars were about as fun to watch as the big guys. Concerts this year, let’s say the lineup was great, the sound sucked. Speakers were not synced so there was an echo. Sad. Overall we will be back!

Not a huge race fan but I enjoy experiences. I've been to the Indy500 and NASCAR cup series at Martinsville, Richmond, and Vegas. The track here in Newton is decent compared to the others. Stopped at the Love's station for food before the first race. We had heard people mumble about the food inside the speedway and didn't want to spend an insane amount of money on sub-par meals. The people around us were not happy with their purchases. Luckily, the Chester's we ate beforehand was 🔥 and it cost us next to nothing. Getting in and out of the parking area is a challenge. There are tractors and golf carts to pick you up depending on availability. We just parked on the outer edges and walked so that we could leave the area before traffic got backed up. Yes, it was a long walk in the heat (~20 minutes) but totally worth it not to get stuck in a 45 minute traffic jam like others. Not sure that Uber/Lyft drivers can get close enough to pick visitors up. I saw a lot of people have to walk to junctions at the bottom of the hills in order to get to their rides since roads were blocked. As I said earlier, I'm not much into racing so we left during the laps and came back for the concerts. The sound was decent from where we were sitting. Section 301 the first day, and section 210 the second day. Be aware that people will try to sit wherever for the concerts and you'll have to tell people to get out of your seats if you're not there the whole time. There's also a lot of good standing room under the bleachers and by the concessions. The sound was still good there. I didn't get any echo until we walked toward the far edges. It was a cool experience and I'm glad I did it.

Went to the Iowa Speedway for the first time ever. What a neat experience! Great area, the track is awesome, and the racing was great and entertaining! Right off of I-80 and really easy to get to. Highly recommend for a fun outing!

Had an awesome time! There is plenty of parking and helpful staff. The concerts were great too. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and would go again!

We won’t to the Hy-Vee INDYCAR race. It’s a well laid out speedway, with good amenities and grand stands. Would advise buying car parking so you don’t have a long walk.
