Kyle Larson secured the pole position for the first-ever NASCAR Cup Series race at Iowa Speedway, clocking a speed of 136.458mph in his No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. Despite going out last, Larson’s performance was strong, claiming his fourth pole position of the season and 20th of his Cup Series career. His success comes on the back of recent victories and leading the championship standings. Ryan Blaney will start alongside Larson on the front row, with Josh Berry, William Byron, and Brad Keselowski rounding out the top five qualifiers. Notably, Christopher Bell will start from the rear of the field due to a backup car requirement after a practice incident. The highly-anticipated Iowa Corn 350 is scheduled for Sunday evening at 7 p.m. ET.
