A week after mingling with the pretty people on the Left Coast, NASCAR heads cornstalk deep into the heartland this week, culminating with Sunday's inaugural Cup race at Iowa Speedway.

Iowa gained its place on the schedule when plans for a Montreal race couldn't be completed in time. Maybe next year.

What about Iowa beyond this year? A lot has to do with how things go this weekend.

And it's a full weekend, by the way, with a race each day starting Friday.
