NASCAR enjoyed a well-deserved break last weekend, but now the Cup Series is getting back into action with the Iowa Corn 350 on Sunday.
It's coming down to the wire — only four races remain until the cutoff determines which 16 drivers continue onto this year's playoffs. With three shorter tracks on the upcoming slate, it will be a solid opportunity for drivers to put together a convincing campaign.
Although the recent Brickyard 400 was somewhat of a wash, there is plenty to look forward to in Iowa this weekend. This will mark just the third Cup Series race at the track — Ryan Blaney and William Byron claimed the first two.
Blaney and Byron are ones to watch, along with some of this season's top competitors, like Denny Hamlin, Christopher Bell and Ty Gibbs.
Here's everything you need to know about the Iowa Corn 350, including TV channel and streaming options for the NASCAR race.
