The NASCAR Cup Series is headed to the Iowa Speedway for the 23rd race of the season. The 2025 Iowa Corn 350 is scheduled to start at 3:30 pm ET on Sunday (August 3). The race will cover 350 laps around the 0.875‑mile D‑shaped oval. Defending race winner from the inaugural 2024 Cup event, Ryan Blaney leads the betting picks alongside Christopher Bell and Kyle Larson.

Iowa Speedway started hosting NASCAR Xfinity and Truck Series races in 2009. The inaugural Cup Series race was won by Blaney, who led 201 of the 350 laps.

Larson, who won the pole position with a lap at 136.458 mph, captured the Stage 2 win last year. However, he faded late and finished 34th, falling two laps down after encountering issues during the race. The Hendrick Motorsports driver is also listed at +450 to win the race, according to BetMGM.

William Byron has the fifth highest odds at +800. He finished second last season after crossing the line just 0.716 seconds behind race winner Blaney.

Chase Elliott is listed at +1100 odds. The current Cup points leader came in third place last year. Meanwhile, Bell, who finished fourth was the top-scoring Toyota driver in the 2024 Iowa Corn 350. He started from the rear in a backup car due to a right-front tire failure in practice and is listed at +475 this year.
