IndyCar revamps Iowa heat system

The IndyCar Series has altered the heat qualifying system for its Iowa Speedway round; lengthening the races, offering points and allowing drivers from opening heats to progress to the pole-deciding final. When the heat system was first used last year, drivers were split into three heat groups based on practice times. A trio of 30-lap races then decided the order, with heats one and two sorting the grid from row five backwards, and heat three determining the top eight positions in the starting line-up
