Iowa: Kyle Fowler preview

Kyle Fowler and the Eddie Sharp Racing No. 6 Alabama Air National Guard Toyota will take the track in the Prairie Meadows 200 at Iowa Speedway on Saturday, July 10, 2010 at 8 p.m. CDT (9 p.m. EST).

Last ARCA Race: Toledo: Fowler made his ARCA Racing Series debut on May 23, 2010 in the Menards 200 at Toledo Speedway. After qualifying 13th, Fowler was ready to take on his first ARCA Racing Series race in front of a packed crowd. The green flag dropped, and Fowler showed consistency as he worked his way toward the front. Bad luck seemed to follow the No. 6 as he suffered damage in one incident, then the battery disconnected during a red-flag. Although two laps down, Fowler pushed through the field to finish 15th in his ARCA Racing Series debut.

Supporting the Troops: This weekend, the Alabama Air National Guard will be featured on the No. 6 ESR Toyota. The car will be in support of American troops abroad and Fowler's cousin, Ray Fowler, who just returned from Iraq, his third tour overseas.

Meet Fowler in Iowa: Fowler will join fellow ARCA Racing Series drivers at the Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino for an autograph session Friday, July 9 from 7 - 8 p.m. CDT. The event is located at 1 Prairie Meadows Drive, Altoona, Iowa 50009-2115.

Fowler on racing at Iowa Speedway

"In my first race in the ARCA Racing Series at Toledo Speedway, I learned a lot. Being my first race, I received great experience in the car, and I'm thrilled to be back at the track. I am confident going into Iowa, and I know we are going to have a good run. We've had some bad luck with things like mechanical problems, so I am looking forward to turning around the luck for the better. I am thankful to Eddie Sharp for allowing me this opportunity to run with the team again at Iowa. Crew chief Kevin Caldwell has been great to work with, and I look forward to this weekend with him on top of the pit box again."
