Get to Know Newton 250: Entry list, TV schedule & track info

After a week off, the Nationwide Series returns to the track for the Get to Know Newton 250 at Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa. With the Sprint Cup Showdown and All-Star Race happening in Charlotte, North Carolina this weekend, all of the Cup drivers who would normally race in the Nationwide races will not be participating in Iowa this weekend.

For example, Austin Theriault will drive JR Motorsports’ No. 5 car, Blake Koch will drive TriStar’s No. 10 car, Michael McDowell is in the No. 20 for Joe Gibbs Racing, Dylan Kwasniewski will move to the No. 42 car for Turner Scott Motorsports, Chase Pistone into Kwasniewski’s regular No. 31.
