Ryan Blaney shocks the field with a jaw-dropping pole at Iowa Speedway, edging out Kyle Larson by a mere 0.018 seconds in a wild qualifying session that saw record-breaking laps and heart-stopping drama. It’s Blaney’s 15th career pole—and his first ever at this track—with teammate Joey Logano right behind him in third, setting up a Penske-Hendrick front row showdown. But not all drivers are smiling: Brad Keselowski crashes after qualifying fourth, relegating him to the rear; Chase Briscoe and Denny Hamlin start from the back due to brake woes; and last year’s winner William Byron drops to 19th. Connor Zilisch makes his first top-ten oval start, adding fresh energy to the mix. With chaos brewing and strategy looming, this race promises fireworks from the green flag.
