The Iowa Corn 250 will be an interesting race to say the least. Takuma Sato is on the pole which is the first pole for KV Racing since 2005. Danica Patrick will start second which is an impressive starting spot for her, with an off and on season so far. Tony Kanaan will start third and rookie JR Hildebrand will start 4th.
During the second practice after qualifying yesterday night Takuma Sato, and Alex Tagliani collided into each other and crashed. Which just left KV Racing's and Sam Schmidt Motorports' crews with a little more work to do to get ready for today's race.
Yesterday IndyCar officials said that the race is set to be sold out tonight. So expect a good crowd.
