William Byron used a flurry of final-stage cautions to stretch his fuel over the last 140 laps to win Sunday\\\"s NASCAR Cup Series race at Iowa Speedway. The victory is his first since winning the Daytona 500 in February,

The first stage of the Iowa Corn 350 is in the books as NASCAR Cup Series action hits Iowa Speedway. Former Cup Series champion Brad Keselowski was the driver to take the win in stage one, completing the stage-winning overtake on William Byron after 42 laps of fast and frantic racing action around the short track.

This will be just the second time the NCS has ran an event in Corn Country. While NASCAR has held many races in Iowa among its supporting series, it was not until 2024 that they brought out the big guns to one of the more intriguing tracks in the Midwest. Last season, Ryan Blaney managed to pull out a win at the 3/4-mile oval.

Chase Briscoe is on the pole for the Iowa Corn 350 NASCAR Cup Series race on August 3 at Iowa Speedway. Briscoe's lap of 23.004 seconds was less than a tenth of a second better than William Byron in Saturday's qualifying session.
