Iowa a Field Of Dreams for Roush Fenway Racing

Roush Fenway Racing has seemed to find the yellow brick road into Iowa Speedway's victory lane as they have done it a total of 5 times with 3 different winners. The team has won in the First Xfinity Race at Iowa a total of 4 of the 5 wins. Twice with eventual NASCAR Xfinity Series Champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr., once with Trevor Bayne, and last season the team won with Chris Buescher who would also go on to win the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
In a total of 32 starts at Iowa, Roush Fenway Racing has finished in the Top-5 10 times, Top-10 16 times, along with 2 poles. If you are a Roush Fenway Racing driver like Darrell Wallace Jr. or Ryan Reed you have to be looking at the average finish overall through the organization. The Roush Fenway Racing organization has an average start of 12th and an average finish also of 12th!
Recently we have seen Darrell Wallace Jr. with some impressive runs with a back up car including at Dover where he finished a career best 2nd! Darrell Wallace Jr. has raced at Iowa a total of 5 times over his career in the Xfinity Series. Wallace has recorded three top-10's with his best finish of 6th coming at the first race in 2015. Wallace has also raced at Iowa in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and NASCAR K&N Pro Series East where he finished a best of 3rd in 2010 in the K&N Series.
Ryan Reed will make his 5th start at Iowa Speedway. Reed finished 12th and 21st in last seasons races at Iowa. Reed has also one ARCA Racing Series Start at Iowa in July of 2012 where he finished 9th. Reed is currently 10th in points with an average finish of 18th. With these two drivers in the Roush Fenway Racing arsenal there could be a sight somewhere over the rainbow for either Bubba Wallace or Ryan Reed and it could send one to see the Wizard of NASCAR in September.
