Iowa Speedway is scheduled to host its first ever NASCAR Cup Series race this Sunday night, with the Iowa Corn 350 Powered by Ethanol set to kick off the NBC portion of this year's broadcast schedule.

Sunday's race is scheduled to be a 350-lap race around the four-turn, 0.875-mile (1.408-kilometer) Newton, Iowa. The single-car qualifying session is set to utilize the traditional short oval qualifying session, with each driver getting two laps instead of just one.

Drivers are split into two groups, with the order determined by the qualifying metric NASCAR introduced in 2020 (full explanation here), and the fastest five drivers in each group advance to the second round shootout for the pole position.

The drivers who don't make it out of the first group are set to line up on the outside row, and the drivers who don't make it out of the second group are set to line up on the inside row.
