The 2021 ARCA Menards Series schedule came out on Tuesday afternoon, and to our surprise, Iowa Speedway is still on it.

The track, which has largely been removed from the national series schedules it used to dawn (NASCAR Xfinity and Truck Series removed races, as did IndyCar), appears to not be done just yet.

This marks the seventh straight and 15th time in 16 years in which the series will travel to Newton, IA. They first did so in 2006.

Aside from a bit of stats, the press release didn’t relay information concerning the future of the track, although its expected that it is waiting to find a buyer.

As for ARCA, the schedule kicks off with its speedweek race at Daytona on the same day as the NASCAR Xfinity Series event at the track.

The tour will make stops at Elko and Milwaukee as well as its normal pair of dirt track races at the DuQuoin and Illinois State Fairgrounds.

The full schedule can be seen below.
