"Honestly, Iowa Speedway is one of my favorite stops on the circuit. The fans are incredible… it's like tailgating at college football games. Everyone comes out and has a great time. Historically, we've been really good at the track, and I think in part, that it really fits my driving style. In five starts at the track, I've won the pole three times, and then won here a year ago… which I am hoping that we repeat,” said Sadler.
