No, don't get too excited. NASCAR hasn't added Iowa to the Cup schedule but while this is an off week for Cup, the Xfinity and CWT Series are both on track in Iowa. Maybe those Cup drivers will actually take a week off and we'll get to see the series regulars battle it out?

Keselowski's on the entry list. Looks like he wants to beat up on the developmental drivers such as Sadler, Allgaier, Green, Shepherd, etc.
 
From Jayski.....
Decker sisters driving for Obaika Racing at Iowa: It's not the holidays yet, but Obaika Racing is having quite a treat with new drivers as we prepare for the upcoming Xfinity race. Making their Xfinity series debut, the Decker sisters, Paige and Claire, will be heating up the Iowa Speedway come Sunday, June 19. Wisconsin bred Paige (age 23) and Claire (age 21), have been racing competitively for over 2 years. In 2015, Paige made her NASCAR debut in the Camping Truck series at Martinsville where she finished 30th. The following year she and sister Claire, both raced in the Truck series at Martinsville and both finished within the top 30 with Paige at 25th and Claire at 27th. This Sunday, the sisters will be racing for Obaika Racing, with Paige behind the wheel #97 and Claire taking on the new car #77 Chevrolet Camaro. Vroom Brands will be sponsoring both cars.(Obaika Racing)(6-14-2016)

Just hype or can these girls race?

You're up @AndyMarquisLive
 
60 laps green. Debris lap 60. A lapped car will blow a tire at lap 150 caution. Debris lap 220. Leaders tangle at lap 240. Same as the other 50 Nationwide races. At least I am no longer surprised.
 
Oh boy thank god Penske sent Brad to a standalone event. At least I'll have plenty of time to catch up on my Sunday afternoon nap

These girls can race...just need to be put in some decent equipment to showcase their skills. They also have a cousin who was in the Martinsville race a few months ago.

It would be pretty cool one day to see 4 girls in the Cup Series in the same race. The best part? All 4 would be from WI (assuming the other girl is Danica).

Paige and Claire are sisters, Natalie is a cousin. And, yeah, while I haven't been impressed with what I've seen from them in person, I also know they haven't been in great cars. It's not the same as some of the ladies who have come to the track in elite racecars and finished six laps down.
