Garrett Smithley is looking to improve on his 22nd-place finish earlier this year at Iowa Speedway when the Xfinity Series returns to the track for Saturday’s U.S. Cellular 250.
Saturday’s race will be Smithley’s second at the seven-eighths-mile track.
“I’m surprisingly looking forward to going back to Iowa,” Smithley said. “We did have a good finish when we raced there last month, but I didn’t feel like I was very fast. Danny Gill (crew chief) and the team have made some really good improvements to our short-track car, plus this is the first race of the season I get to race on a track we have already been to, so I’m looking for us to better our previous finish.”
Smithley sits 17th in Xfinity driver points entering the race.
