NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — Joey Logano will run a NASCAR Nationwide race in Iowa in June, the night before competing in a Sprint Cup event at Pocono. The Iowa Speedway says Logano will return to its .875-mile track for its Nationwide opener on June 8. Logano beat Kevin Harvick in a K&N Pro Series race at Iowa in 2007 and led the first competitive lap ever run at the track as a 16-year-old in 2006.

Logano says that racing at Iowa and Pocono should be fun and that he’s looking to go “two-for-two” for the weekend. Logano is the biggest driver yet committed to Iowa’s first Nationwide race of the season. The track will host another Nationwide race in August in addition to an IndyCar event and two Camping World Trucks series races.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State assistant coach T.J. Otzelberger is leaving the Cyclones for a similar position with Washington. Huskies coach Lorenzo Romar announced Otzelberger’s hiring on Tuesday, calling him a “tenacious recruiter.”  The 36-year-old Otzelberger has been with Iowa State since 2006. He was promoted to associate head coach in 2010 under Fred Hoiberg. Though Otzelberger’s strength lied with recruiting, he was also responsible for Iowa State’s game plans over the past two seasons.

Otzelberger tells The Associated Press that the move felt like a logical step in what he hopes is his progression to a head coaching job someday.

AMES, Iowa (AP) – It will cost Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg $2 million to leave the Cyclones for another Division I school under a new contract signed last week and made public on Tuesday.  Hoiberg agreed to a new 10-year, $20 million deal in March after leading Iowa State to back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances.

Hoiberg would essentially owe a year’s salary to Iowa State if he leaves for another school. But Hoiberg’s buyout will be just $500,000 if he accepts a job as a head coach or general manager in the NBA.   Hoiberg also receives $250,000 for reaching the Final Four and $100,000 for winning or tying for the Big 12 regular season title.

Hoiberg’s new deal, which mirrors one recently signed by football coach Paul Rhoads, runs through 2023.
