From the Driver’s Seat:

William Sawalich: “I am looking forward to racing in Iowa again this year. We were so close last year so I really want to be one spot better this year. I’ll be interested to see how the track changes with the repave, but I feel confident that we can adapt to whatever changes the track gives to us.”
