Lots of people rent spaces in their yards. Should not be a problem!

If you're heading South, I'd park on the West side of Highway 14, south of the track. I don't walk by this part of town on the way to the track, but you can likely just find paid parking in someone's yard, or along the street. Then, you can just turn right onto the highway, and get the hell out of there after the races!!
If you don't mind a little congestion (It's not like it's Washington DC at rush hour) there is paid parking ALL OVER directly east of the track. The entire neighborhood around the Hyvee has folks selling parking spots in their grass, and any street that isn't marked "no parking" is fair game.
Hope that helps! You shouldn't have any issues. Especially if you get there early in the afternoon.

If you're going south don't park north of the track or you'll get stuck in a ton of traffic. Sounds trite but it'll save you a ton of time.

Cheap method:
Wednesday and Thursday nights you can do free on street parking south and east of the track, you might be 5 to 12 blocks away, also folks with yard parking for a fee, a little cheaper than by the track and easy to leave. Friday and especially Saturday is trickier unless you get to town pretty early as the locals also park in that neighborhood.
Think about how you're going to leave town Saturday night before you commit to park in a yard or one the bigger yards closer to the track. Sometimes you get landlocked waiting to leave the bigger lots, only one way out or there's a vehicle blocking an exit. You do not want to be too close to the 92/14 intersection south of the track as you can't get out on 92 off of the side streets very easily, especially east (left).
For the local Iowans: Will the bridge over Red Rocks north be open for the Nationals? If not, is 92/5 the easiest way back to Des Moines?
