The 11th race of the 2018 IndyCar season, the Iowa Corn 300, is scheduled to take place this Sunday. Here is the full entry list for that race.
The 11th of 17 races and fourth of six oval track races on the 2018 IndyCar schedule is scheduled to take place this Sunday afternoon at Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa. That race is the Iowa Corn 300, which is scheduled to last for 300 laps around the four-turn, 0.894-mile (1.439-kilometer) Iowa Speedway oval.
Iowa Speedway is the shortest track that IndyCar is scheduled to race at this season. In fact, it has been the shortest track on the IndyCar schedule ever since the 2010 season. In each of the last nine years, it has been the only track on the schedule that measures under one mile in length.
While Iowa Speedway was on the schedule from the 2007 season through the 2009 season as well, the four-turn, 0.75-mile (1.207-kilometer) Richmond Raceway was also on the schedule in those seasons, making it the shortest track on the schedule.

A total of 22 drivers are entered into the Iowa Corn 300. That driver total is tied for the lowest driver total of the season thus far with the driver total in one other race. That other race was the DXC Technology 600 at Texas Motor Speedway back on Saturday, June 9.
While the total of 22 drivers in the Iowa Corn 300 is tied for the smallest driver total in any race so far this season, it is tied for the largest driver total in an IndyCar race at Iowa Speedway since 2006. A total of 22 drivers entered the 2016 Iowa Corn 300 and a total of 21 drivers entered the 2017 Iowa Corn 300. As a result, the race’s driver total this season is actually a slight improvement (4.76%) from the race’s driver total last season, which was a season that featured more than 21 drivers in just seven of its 17 races .
