The Farm to Finish 275 powered by Sukup closes out the NTT IndyCar Series doubleheader weekend at Iowa Speedway on Sunday, July 13 at 12:00 PM ET. Following Saturday’s Synk 275, this second race on the 0.875-mile short oval offers a fresh chance for redemption, strategy shifts, and championship momentum as the season enters its final stretch.
Track Overview – Iowa Speedway
Location: Newton, Iowa
Length: 0.875 miles (D-shaped oval)
Race Distance: 275 laps / 240 miles
Banking: 12–14° in turns
Broadcast: FOX / SiriusXM / INDYCAR Radio Network
Grand Marshal: Jay Higgins, former Iowa Hawkeyes football star
Iowa’s tight layout and variable banking make it one of the most physically demanding tracks on the calendar. With limited practice and qualifying shared between both races, teams must adapt quickly to changing conditions and tire wear.
Championship Standings (Top 5 After 10 Rounds)
| Rank | Driver | Points | Wins |
| 1 | Álex Palou | 430 | 6 |
| 2 | Kyle Kirkwood | 317 | 3 |
| 3 | Pato O’Ward | 305 | 0 |
| 4 | Scott Dixon | 282 | 1 |
| 5 | Christian Lundgaard | 263 | 0 |
Palou’s dominant season continues, but Iowa’s short oval format has historically favored Team Penske, opening the door for a shake-up in the standings.
