When the 2025 Iowa Corn 350 makes a comeback for its second lap on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule, the engines are expected to roar once more in Newton, Iowa.
After a road-course-heavy stretch earlier in the summer, drivers are switching gears for the third consecutive weekend of oval racing. The field is preparing for another intense battle in the Midwest sun, returning to the bump and grind of short-track combat.
The highlight of the previous year’s event was Ryan Blaney, who took the checkered flag and won his first of three 2024 season victories. In a race that had the Iowa audience on their feet, William Byron and Chase Elliott were not far behind, completing the podium.
Ross Chastain, a watermelon man, is currently ranked 13th overall, but he has already punched his playoff ticket after making an incredible charge from the back of the field to victory lane in Charlotte.
He has, however, had a difficult run recently, placing below the top 20 in five of his previous six appearances. Nevertheless, he has experience with short-track success; his top-10 finishes at Bristol and Martinsville demonstrate his ability to recover when things become tough.
