2022 Hy-Vee IndyCar Race Weekend explained

The 2022 Hy-Vee IndyCar Race Weekend was a pair of IndyCar motor races held on July 23, 2022 and July 24, 2022 at Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa. They were the 11th and 12th rounds of the 2022 IndyCar season. The race weekend has been held since 2007 with a brief hiatus in 2021 after a change of focus by the owner of the track.

The second race (officially the Hy-Vee Salute to Farmers 300 presented by Google) was held on July 24, 2022. The race consisted of 300 laps and was won by Patricio O'Ward.

Each race was accompanied with concerts before and after it with Tim McGraw and Florida Georgia Line on Saturday and Gwen Stefani, and Blake Shelton performing on Sunday. ^[1]
