David Malukas is looking forward to the IndyCar doubleheader at Iowa Speedway after a pair of road course races, despite it being a challenging weekend. He has excelled on ovals in 2025, with strong performances in races like the Indianapolis 500 and at Worldwide Technology Raceway.
While road courses have posed some challenges for Malukas, he is thrilled to return to the oval environment he loves, especially at a track like Iowa where he has historically performed well.
The track’s chaotic nature and high passing opportunities make Iowa Speedway a favorite for Malukas, who believes his partnership with Team Penske will further boost his confidence for the weekend.
Changes in aero package and tire construction at Iowa present new unknown variables for Malukas and his team, who did not participate in the testing of these adjustments. However, Malukas remains optimistic that these changes will enhance the racing and lead to positive outcomes.
The extended lap counts for both races this weekend will add a strategic element, providing new opportunities and perspectives for the drivers. Malukas is eager to see how these changes, along with the new aero package, will impact the racing at Iowa.
