NASCAR: 2024 Iowa qualifying updates, full starting lineup

Iowa Speedway is no stranger to hosting NASCAR races, but never in its nearly two-decade history has it hosted a NASCAR Cup Series race.

That is set to change this weekend.

For the first time ever, the four-turn, 0.875-mile (1.408-kilometer) Newton, Iowa oval is slated to host NASCAR's top level, with the Iowa Corn 350 Powered by Ethanol scheduled to be a 350-lap race.

Because Iowa Speedway is considered a short track, each driver is set to make a two-lap qualifying run in Saturday's single-car qualifying session, with the faster of the two laps being the one that counts.

The drivers are split up into two groups, with the groups (and the order of each group) determined by the qualifying metric that NASCAR has now used for the last five seasons. A full rundown of that formula can be found here.

The fastest five drivers in each group are set to advance to the second round to battle for the pole position. The drivers who don't advance out of the first group are set to start the race on the outside row, while the drivers who don't advance out of the second group are set to start the race on the inside row.
