Rookie Coulter Returns to Familiar Ground at Iowa
HUNTERSVILLE NC (7-9-09) - ARCA RE/MAX Series rookie Joey Coulter returns to familiar grounds this weekend at Iowa Speedway for the Prairie Meadows 200. The 19-year-old has previously competed at the .875-mile D-shaped oval, most recently in 2008, recording a fourth place finish.
Coulter, who was fastest in the recent Iowa Speedway test, is on a roll lately coming off three consecutive top-five finishes at Pocono Raceway, Michigan and Mansfield Motorsports Park, where he finished a career-best second.
The 19-year-old driver circled the .875-mile short track in 23.138 seconds, an average speed of 136.140 mph.
"It's the same situation as Mansfield. This will be my third time here at Iowa, so I could spend more time on how the car works on the track rather than having to spend all my time learning the track, or both," Coulter said.
"I'm really looking forward to going back to Iowa. I'm returning to familiar tracks, and my past experience at the track should definitely pay off," Coulter added.
"Iowa Speedway is a fun racetrack to compete on. The layout is awesome and, with the level of competition in the ARCA RE/MAX Series, it will definitely make for a great race for sure," Coulter stated on returning to the .875-mile D-shaped oval.
The first on-track activity for the ARCA RE/MAX Series is a practice session on Friday, July 10 from 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. Following the hour and a half practice session is an autograph session at Prairie Meadows Racetrack/Casino from 7-8 p.m. on Friday, July 10 in support of the Prairie Meadows 200 at Iowa Speedway. Prairie Meadows Racetrack/Casino is located in Altoona, Iowa, right off of I-80 at exit 142.
The Prairie Meadows 200 at Iowa Speedway is scheduled to go off Saturday, July 11 at 8:00 p.m. local time. Menards Pole Qualifying presented by Ansell precedes the race at 4:00 PM. The ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series will join the ARCA RE/MAX Series for an ARCA double-header with the IMTA 50 scheduled to go at 6:00 p.m.
