RELATED: When is the Indy 500?
The NTT IndyCar Series will return to its first oval in more than a month and its first short track of the season as Iowa Speedway plays host to a Friday-Saturday race weekend doubleheader.
With Felix Rosenqvist scoring his first career victory in IndyCar last Sunday at Road America, Chip Ganassi Racing has a four-race winning streak to start the 2020 season.
Team Penske was the last to start the season with four consecutive victories in 2012. If one of Ganassi’s three drivers can win Friday at Iowa, it’ll be the first team to win more than four in a row to begin a season since Anstead-Thompson, which won the first seven races in 1964 with A.J. Foyt.

With Pato O’Ward just falling short of capturing his first victory Sunday and rookie Alex Palou also a factor at Road America, it seems worthy to note the last time there were back-to-back first-time winners was in 2008 with Graham Rahal (St. Petersburg) and Danica Patrick (Twin Ring Motegi).
