NASCAR has officially stated that the Nationwide series will not be returning to Mexico to race. Officials say that they have accomplished a solid base for the sport and it's time to leave. Iowa is the favored track to replace it. That would be cool because watching races at Iowa is fun, it's a great track. (Currently used for ARCA.)

Yeah I have to agree... the costs may have been great, but that was one of my top 5 races to watch in the Natiowide schedule crying . I'm a road course fan , and to be honest I really would wish that either of the foreign tracks would have made a cup series debut...(and to get rid of all these crap cookie cutter tracks).

No Iowa is not a road course, it's a 7/8 mile oval built 2 years ago. It is a nice facility. I don't know why, but I never cared much for Mexico City. It is a nice facility, but whatever, I'm not gonna lose sleep over it.

Iowa is also one of the speedways that was griping over the possibe Washington track, because of a possible loss of ticket sales. In an already tight racing budget area.

I think Iowa is a respectable track that deserves the date.

Like I said, it's a nice facility that I think will get the spot in the NATIONWIDE series.

That would be cool because watching races at Iowa is fun, it's a great track. (Currently used for ARCA.) I liked watching the road race in Mexico, but I understand all the hassel. If their goal's been met, what's the deal with Canada? I hope they stay there.

That is a better facility and better race to watch than mexico in my opinion.
