Full starting lineup at Iowa Speedway

Iowa Speedway is back on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule in 2025 after hosting its first-ever Cup race last year. But unlike last year, when the race was contested in mid-June, this year’s race is scheduled to open up the month of August, with just four races remaining on the regular season calendar.

With the four-turn, 0.894-mile (1.439-kilometer) Newton, Iowa oval being a short track, each driver is set to make a two-lap qualiyfing attempt on Saturday, rather than just a single-lap qualifying attempt. The better of the two laps counts.

The qualifying order was determined by the new two-variable metric that NASCAR developed ahead of the 2025 season, the formula which replaced the four-variable metric which was used from 2020 to 2024.

A full breakdown of that formula can be found here.

All 37 drivers on the entry list are set to make one qualifying attempt; there is no longer a second round shootout for the pole position. Additionally, there are no longer any row-by-row lane designation based on groups. All lap times are simply stacked up against one another to determine the full 37-car starting lineup.

Follow along with our qualifying updates from Iowa Speedway.
