After an adventure filled Friday, I am now at Iowa Speedway. High line practice just finished, with Conor Daly recording the fastest speed. The session had one major inxident.

Kye Kirkwood went low then came up high, hitting the wall with the right side of the card. The damage didn’t look too bad, but he may not get back for the main practice.

Josef Newgarden touched wheels with Alexander Rossi, but both cars kept going without further issues.

My journey to Iowa began in chaos. Just as I was about to leave for the airport 5:45 am, a text from Soutwest informed me that I had been rebooked on flight departing at 3:30 pm and arriving in Des Moines after my connection at 11 pm. Communication with the airline produced no palatable alternative, so I decided to drive.

The drive is long, and the rainstorm I encountered 50 miles from the track did not help my mood. By the time I reached the exit to the track, the rain was very heavy. I pulled into the convenience store lot and parked. I found out the tracked had cancelled activity for the rest of the day.

Weather will not be an issue for the rest of the weekend. In fact, this morning is the most pleasant and comfortable I have ever been at Iowa.

IndyCar practice has just started. I will be back after practice with results as Indy NXT will get their race underway.
