I live close to the track so maybe I can answer this. First, Rusty raced in NASCAR, but the body itself didn't have anything to do with the design. Second, the seating capacity at the track is below the levels for NEXTEL Cup and probably the Busch series too, granted seats can be added, but that would require a commitment from NASCAR first. Third, the Cup and Busch series schedules are full and there are other tracks like Nashville and Kentucky waiting to receive races. The truck series is a potential to race in Iowa, but they are probably waiting to see how the track works out and shapes up first. I imagine that if the races go well this year we could see NASCAR adding a truck race in the near future.
