Following the off week after the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the NASCAR Cup Series is set to kick off a stretch of 14 races in 14 weekends to conclude the 2026 season.
The first of four remaining races on the regular season calendar is Sunday afternoon's Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway. The four-turn, 0.894-mile (1.439-kilometer) Newton, Iowa oval was added to the Cup Series schedule for the first time back in 2024.
Team Penske's Ryan Blaney won the inaugural Iowa race, while Hendrick Motorsports' William Byron won in Corn Country a year ago but hasn't won since.
Blaney took the pole position for Sunday's 350-lap race in Saturday afternoon's qualifying session, and Hendrick Motorsports' Kyle Larson joined him on the front row to take the green flag.
Follow along with our Iowa Corn 350 race updates from Iowa.
