John Wes Townley on Returning to Iowa Speedway:

What are your thoughts on returning to Iowa Speedway?

“I think I learned a lot the last time we were there – As far as which line to run around the track and about my Zaxby’s Toyota Tundra. Now that the season has progressed a little bit, and we are having back-to-back races, I am in the mode. I feel more comfortable with my team and like I am doing my part as a driver.

 

Do you find it beneficial as a driver to visit a track more than once in a year?

“Of course, especially when it is a track you like. And I really like Iowa. It’s good that you have an opportunity to rebound and learn from any mistakes you made on your first trip. You get to try and correct your mistakes in the same season without waiting till the following year.”
