Iowa 2025

First of all, if anyone can tell me how to pronounce the the name of the new title sponsor............ :confused:

Under consideration in the Travel household is attendance at this year's Newton, Iowa weekend. Has anyone ever been there? Do you stay in Des Moines and drive back and forth every day? I've never been to the state of Iowa, much less this race. I've always wanted to see a short oval. My preference is for the Milwaukee Mile but the date is not good for me this year. Iowa is not ideal either so I'm just fishing around for any insights anyone has--from "It's great fun" to "Don't go."

AI sez: The "Sukup" part is pronounced "sue-koop"

Haven't been there but I've driven past Newton on I-80. I would hope DM has plenty of lodging and Newton is only a short drive (~30 miles?).

Thanks, stroker. sue-koop is a lot better than what I was thinking. :laugh:
