Pizza Ranch launched a number of exciting racing initiatives in 2009.  It started first by signing a multi-year partnership to be the Official Pizza of Iowa Speedway.  Along with that came Pizza Ranch Victory Lane and the Pizza Ranch 100 (a Star Mazda Championship Series race) came to Iowa Speedway.

Then in August of 2009 Pizza Ranch and Joe Gibbs Racing teamed up to bring Nationwide Series points leader and eventual season points champion, Kyle Busch to Iowa Speedway’s inaugural NASCAR Nationwide Race.  And in front of 70,000 plus fans Kyle and the #18 Pizza Ranch Racing team came all the way from the back of the pack to take the race lead.  Kyle ended the race in second place, tying Nationwide Series legend, Jack Ingram with a record nine consecutive top-two finishes.

Then Pizza Ranch announced in October 2009 that they had signed on to sponsor four NASCAR Nationwide Series races with Joe Gibbs Racing and their newest young talent, driver Matt DiBenedetto.

Matt DiBenedetto made his Nationwide Series debut in Memphis on October 24, 2009 and made 3 more appearances for Pizza Ranch in 2010: Elkhart Lake, WI (6/19/10); St. Louis, MO (7/17/10) and at Newton, IA (7/31/10) where he earned his first top-10 finish in the Nationwide Series.

In 2011 Pizza Ranch is teaming up with Iowa Speedway to bring a lot of excitement to Pizza Ranch Victory Lane and with Joe Gibbs Racing for 3 more exciting races and a 12-week show car tour.
