Congratulations to Team Penske and Team Chevrolet for their strong performance this weekend with Scott Mclaughlin winning race 1 and Will Power winning race 2 at Iowa speedway. Race 1 saw Mclaughlin dominate the track, leading the race for the final 164 laps earning him his highly anticipated first oval win. Race 2 saw Power strategically moved up from starting position 22 to the lead aided by efficient pitstops by the Penske Chevrolet trackside crew that meant Power could jump from 22nd to 2nd on the first round of pit stops. Mistakes, crashes and cautions were numerous throughout both races, many occurring due to difficulties to pass other drivers due to the one groove track – this year at Iowa saw a major drop in driver passes from 2,670 in 2023 to 396 total passes in 2024. The race ending with a four-car crash proved the risk of this track. We are proud of the team for navigating these challenges effectively.
