Racing action will be on on back- to-back nights under the lights in the Iowa INDYCAR 250s. The 250-lap races mark the second of three doubleheaders on the 2020 schedule and the only remaining series night races this season.
Marco Andretti is in his 15th season competing in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. He has won two races and five pole positions in his INDYCAR career and he has earned 20 podium finishes.
Take a listen to the interview with Andretti on the Morning Kix Start with Brandon Lewis.
Iowa Speedway and INDYCAR will welcome a limited number of fans to the track for the race weekend. A number of health and safety measures will be in place for the weekend in order to meet and exceed Iowa state guidelines for COVID-19. The maximum number of fans expected at Iowa Speedway each night is about 5,000 people.
All existing ticketholders have had their seats reassigned for social distancing. A limited number of remaining tickets went on sale last Friday and a few seats do still remain with tickets starting at just $15 for Friday and $20 for Saturday.

AT THE MOVIES...Thursday’s at 5:40, brought to you by North Grand Cinema in Ames and IBC KIX 101.1….
Welcome to The List…
Hollywood’s biggest fear is officially here. Dead actors… still booking roles. A new movie is using A.I. to bring Val Kilmer back. Yeah. From the grave… straight to the premiere. The director says Val wanted this. His family signed off too. Which is great… until your Netflix suggestions start haunting you. Somewhere an Oscar just felt uncomfortable.
-----
Tom Brady says he wears a disguise to his kids’ games. Not kidding. Hoodie. Hat. Full undercover quarterback mode. Apparently the kids don’t want attention on them because… you know… their dad is TOM BRADY. Imagine trying to sneak into a gym when you’re built like a superhero statue. Sir… we still know it’s you.
-----
Rumor is Keith Urban might be going through a midlife crisis after the split. Sources say he wants to live the single life again. Totally different person now. Which honestly just sounds like every guy who suddenly discovers energy drinks and fitted jeans. Next step is obvious. Corvette. New Balance. Bluetooth headset.
-----
Kenny Chesney just launched his own record label. Big move. Real boss energy. It’s named after his boat… because of course it is. And the first artist he signed…drumroll… Kenny Chesney. Man skipped the middleman and hired himself. HR meeting must be real smooth.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
