Overview
- NASCAR’s three-series weekend at Iowa Speedway runs Aug. 7–9 with the ARCA JR&CO 150 on FS1, the HyVee Perks 250 on The CW Saturday, and the Iowa Corn 350 on USA Network Sunday with alternate in-car cams on HBO Max.
- Ryan Sieg earned his first career O’Reilly Auto Parts Series pole on Saturday with a 131.436 MPH lap and will start the HyVee Perks 250 alongside Ross Chastain and Carson Kvapil.
- NASCAR published the Cup entry list and starting lineup for Sunday’s Iowa Corn 350, with names including Denny Hamlin, Ryan Blaney, Christopher Bell and William Byron on the grid.
- Sportsbooks list Denny Hamlin among the race favorites while computer models favor other contenders and longshots, influencing betting and fantasy lineups for the 3:30 p.m. ET Sunday race.
- Iowa is hosting its third Cup race with limited historical data — Ryan Blaney won in 2024 and William Byron in 2025 — and the weekend matters because four regular-season races remain before the Chase begins on Sept. 6.
