JUST IN: Racing Sport Released A Statement About 2024 Competition

1. Iowa Speedway is scheduled to host the first of two doubleheaders on the 2024 IndyCar schedule this weekend, with the Hy-Vee Homefront 250 scheduled to take place on Saturday night and the Hy-Vee One Step 250 scheduled to take place on Sunday afternoon.

The four-turn, 0.875-mile (1.408-kilometer) Newton, Iowa oval returned to the IndyCar schedule in 2022 after being left off the calendar in 2021, and like it did in 2020 since so many other races were canceled due to COVID-19-related restrictions, it hosted a doubleheader in both 2022 and 2023.

IndyCar uses a unique qualifying format for doubleheaders. For regular oval races other than the Indy 500, each driver makes a two-lap qualifying attempt, and the two-lap average speeds determine the starting lineup.

But for doubleheaders, each driver’s first lap is used to determine the starting lineup for the first race, and each driver’s second lap is used to determine the starting lineup for the second race.
