The NASCAR competition resumes this weekend at Iowa Speedway with the NASCAR Cup and the O’Reilly Series, as part of the Round 23 of the 26-race regular season.
William Byron, driver for Hendrick Motorsports, will defend the title won in Iowa last year, although this year he has found himself without wins. Meanwhile, Corey Heim, the winner of the last race in Indianapolis, will not participate in this round as he is a part-time driver.
Currently, Denny Hamlin leads the standings with an 84-point advantage over Tyler Reddick, while Austin Cindric occupies the 16th position, just 38 points from the margin needed to qualify for the Chase.
