Evan and Chip talk racing at Iowa Speedway.

Evan York and his dad travelled to Newton Iowa today to visit the new Iowa Speedway.

This brand new, state-of-the-art racing facility designed and owned by famed NASCAR driver Rusty Wallace was the scene of the Prairie Meadows 250 ARCA RE/MAX Championship Series Race.

Notable among the entries was ex-Formula One race car driver Juan Pablo Montoya. He is getting the feel for stock car racing this year as he prepares to begin racing in NASCAR's Nextel Cup series next year.

Montoya, wo will become the first foreign-born driver to race full time in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series, has signed with Chip Ganassi Racing.

Race team Owner Chip Ganassi shocked the racing world in mid-July when he announced Montoya had signed a multi-year deal with Chip Ganassi.

Following a strong career as a driver, Chip Ganassi created his own one-car IndyCarâ„¢ team in 1990 and established a partnership with a new sponsor, Target Stores. Today, his teams include two cars in the Indy Racing League, three cars in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series, two Daytona Prototypes in the world of Grand American Sports Car racing and one entry in the NASCAR Busch Series.

As a fledgling racing car driver himself, Evan was keen on meeting both Chip Ganassi and Juan Montoya....which he did!

Stay tuned for more updates!!
