NTT INDYCAR SERIES
PREVIEW: RD. 12 \u2013 IOWA 300 (USA)<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

Only a matter of days ago, he again led the rookie campaigners to finish\u00a0fifth behind some of IndyCar\u2019s greatest names on the Canadian streets of Toronto. This weekend sees Felix Rosenqvist take on a fresh challenge of quite a different kind as the series returns to US soil for the intense Iowa 300.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>
\u00a0<\/span>
At just 0.875 miles (1.4 km), the\u00a0Iowa Speedway\u00a0<\/strong>oval is the shortest track on the calendar. With a lap taking just over 17 seconds to turn \u2013 and 300 of them (hence the event\u2019s name) set to be completed in the race on Saturday night \u2013 traffic and lapping is likely to be on everybody\u2019s mind as the 22-car field prepares to resume battle.\u00a0<\/span>
\u00a0<\/span>
Felix Rosenqvist recently completed a rookie test at the track and is looking forward to his return to Iowa in racing mode.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\u00a0<\/span>
\u201cWe tested at Iowa Speedway just the other week prior to Toronto and I learned a lot,\u201d says the Swede<\/strong>. \u201cScott [Dixon, Chip Ganassi Racing team-mate] came to help with the set-up on the No. 10 car, which was great. I’d never been to Iowa so to have him come set up the car was really, really helpful. I’m going to try and learn as much as I can from Scott and the team. This will be a new challenge for me again, as the track is so short and different to the previous ovals. However, I know the team is up for it and we’ll be ready to go.\u201d<\/em><\/span>
\u00a0<\/span>
The Iowa 300 is the third oval event out of a total five to feature in the 2019 NTT IndyCar Series. The two previous ones saw Felix Rosenqvist tangled\u00a0up in a multi-car crash while on course for a top ten finish in the blue-riband Indy 500, while the second netted him 12th\u00a0place at Texas Motor Speedway.\u00a0<\/span>
\u00a0<\/span>
The Iowa weekend begins with free practice and qualifying on Friday. The 300-lap race, which usually takes just under two hours to complete, is run on Saturday evening.<\/span>
\u00a0<\/span>
Felix Rosenqvist currently sits tenth in the overall NTT IndyCar Series standings. He extended his lead in the rookie classification last weekend in Toronto.\u00a0<\/span>
