NTT INDYCAR SERIES | Rd. 11-12<\/strong>
PREVIEW\u00a0<\/strong>Hy-Vee INDYCAR Race Weekend (USA)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Felix Rosenqvist returns to the track this weekend as the NTT INDYCAR SERIES continues at full speed with the only double-header event of the season.<\/strong>

Just days after the previous round on the streets of Toronto, America\u2019s premier single-seater series is gearing up for twice the fun with two races to be staged on consecutive days at Iowa Speedway.

Dubbed the Hy-Vee INDYCAR Race Weekend, the up-coming meeting holds a unique place on the calendar with double the racing, and double the points up for grabs.

\u201cIn terms of sheer points, this is the most important weekend of the season,\u201d says Felix Rosenqvist<\/strong>. \u201cTwo races mean twice the points available, and we only have one practice and one qualifying session to set ourselves up for both. It will be an intense event, just like last year, and you really have to roll off strong.\u201d<\/em>

At 0.875 miles, Iowa Speedway is known as \u201cThe World\u2019s Fastest Short Track\u201d, referencing 18-second lap times at average speeds of around 180 mph. 

As the third oval event on the schedule, Rosenqvist is hoping to repeat the kind of performances that saw him qualify on pole at Texas Motor Speedway and then lead large portions of the famed Indianapolis 500 earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arrow McLaren Swede, however, is well aware that Iowa Speedway poses a very different challenge.

\u201cWe\u2019ve been super strong on the ovals this year, both in Texas and Indy, and we will obviously try to repeat that this weekend,\u201d\u00a0Felix Rosenqvist concludes<\/strong>. \u201cHaving said that, those two superspeedways are wildly different to a short oval like Iowa. Frankly, short ovals have historically been our weak point, but we\u2019ve worked incredibly hard over the winter to overcome that.\u00a0<\/em>

\u201cI\u2019m really, really keen to see what this weekend brings; it\u2019s one of the most exciting tests for us this season.\u201d<\/em>

The single practice session for the Hy-Vee INDYCAR Race Weekend takes place on Friday. Qualifying follows on Saturday morning (local time).\u00a0

The two races, which are both run to 250 laps, play out on Saturday and Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
