Default Iowa Speedway..Soon To Be The New Richmond?

This track is very well liked, and often compared to Richmond; from Indy, and Nascar drivers alike. Designed by Rusty Wallace; this track is anything but Cookie-Cutter.

May look like it, but every pro-driver that has ever driven it; has compared it to Richmond and says it is very similar.
