Grant, Zach & Jim are heading back from America’s Heartland to North Carolina, following Monday’s test at Iowa Speedway. Crew chief Howard Bixman and the crew worked hard all day yesterday adjusting the BeasleyAllen.com ARCA car in the only extensive practice session they will have before the July 10th Prairie Meadows Hotel & Casino 200 race. The speedway complex, east of Des Moines, is a world class facility with a smooth 7/8 mile track.

CAR & CREW AT IOWA SPEEDWAY MONDAY

“We will only have a couple hours of practice next Saturday, just before qualifying in the afternoon and the race that night. I had never been on the track before Monday, and we had to spend the time, money and effort to make the long trip to Iowa. The car was pretty good on long runs, but we never could get it loose enough to drive as well as we need. We will review our notes at the shop, and decide on what adjustments we will make before unloading at the track next week. We aren’t as good as we need to be, but we would be way behind if we hadn’t made this trip. I appreciate the crew making this trip which should be rewarded next Saturday.”

The 200 lap race will be televised live in prime time next Saturday July 10th, at 8 p.m. CDT, on Speed TV.
