Open Race Thread: NASCAR Nationwide Series John Deere Dealers 250 presented by Pioneer | Iowa Speedway

History in the making here at Iowas today - if the rain holds off. We’ve got three women starting the race today; Angela & Amanda Cope and Jen Jo Cobb while Kenny Wallace is making his 500th career start. Oh and don’t forget we’ve only got two Cup regulars starting the race today so the potential for a Nationwide-only driver to win today is that much greater.

Can’t wait for the race to start!

Qualifying was rained out yesterday so the starting line-up was set by the rules - here is today’s starting line-up (via-nascar.com).
