After hosting the Xfinity Series for the last 15 years, Iowa Speedway will return to the NASCAR schedule as the site of the 2025 Iowa Corn 350, taking place on the 0.875-mile oval on Sunday. Last season, Ryan Blaney won the inaugural Cup Series race at Iowa, and he is one of three favorites for this year’s race at +500. He shares this position with Christopher Bell and Kyle Larson. Bubba Wallace, who secured a win last week at the Brickyard, is listed as a longshot at +4400.
Chris Buescher is the new bubble driver following Wallace’s victory, sitting at +2500, while Ryan Preece is a +5000 longshot hoping to secure a win to qualify for the playoffs. The race will begin at 3:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, covering 350 laps.
