Ty Gibbs just stole the show in Iowa—and dodged a massive bullet for Toyota! 🏁

Christopher Bell looked unstoppable after dominating Stage 2, but it was his teammate Ty Gibbs who officially took the checkered flag at the Iowa Corn 350 by a razor-thin 0.253 seconds.

Gibbs kept his No. 54 car flawless to secure the victory, completely escaping the massive brake failures that plagued his fellow Toyota drivers Denny Hamlin and Chase Briscoe.

Did the better car win tonight, or did the late-race strategy cycle simply flip the script on Bell? Let us know what you think of that JGR battle in the replies! 👇

With exactly 36 laps to go at Iowa Corn 350, Bell's No. 20 Toyota is hunting down Ty Gibbs in the No. 54.

If the current run cycles through without a caution, this is shaping up to be an absolute war for the lead.

Who holds on? Does Gibbs secure the top spot, or will Bell's speed reign supreme? Drop your pick for the final 30 laps! 👇

Things went from bad to worse for Kyle Larson.

Larson got shuffled WAY out of the groove by JHN, dropping him into a four-wide situation with SVG and Alex Bowman. Larson tried to get back in line—but it ended with Bowman in the wall off Larson’s nose. 💥

Bowman’s reaction? “We’re f***ing destroyed.”

Larson’s team says they’ll need to change a right-rear toe link, with the No. 5 expected to lose a couple of laps.

Then came the radio drama. 👀

Larson asked whether JHN “jammed it in” on him or if he simply couldn’t hold it down like normal.

He’s later told JHN said he was on the downshift.

Larson’s response?

“Cool. Cool. Professional.” 😬

🔥 Who’s at fault for this one—JHN, Larson, or just a chaotic restart?

Absolute disaster for the No. 9 team tonight. 🤦‍♂

Alan Gustafson just made a brilliant strategic pit call, perfectly catching the timing of the caution to completely flip Chase Elliott’s track position. It was exactly the break they needed...

That was until Elliott was released without the left front wheel being secured.

Will Elliott be able to find his way back? Let's hear your thoughts below! 👇

Started 26th. Now he’s LEADING THE RACE. 👀🔥

And the timing couldn’t be more wild—Toyotas have been struggling with severe braking issues all race long.

Yet Bubba Wallace has somehow fought his way from the back to the front of the field. 🏁

Can Bubba pull off the upset and hold on for the win?

👇 Is this Bubba’s race to lose?

Stenhouse gets spun while running nearly four-wide and backs it into the outside wall. 💥

And it somehow gets even crazier…

As Stenhouse tried to back up and get going again, Carson Hocevar came flying through and nearly yeeted the No. 47! 😳

Another wild moment at Iowa. 🏁

Was Stenhouse simply caught in a racing incident, or was someone to blame? 👇

X (formerly Twitter)JJ (@TomcatNASCAR_2) on XSVG not able to save it this time. #IowaCorn350 | #NASCAR🟨

Caution is out after SVG spins, and that’s a massive scare for the No. 97 team. 😬

Van Gisbergen came into the race with a 57-point cushion over the Chase bubble—but this could make things very interesting.

The No. 97 car was initially stalled after the spin, but it’s back running now. 👀

With his playoff hopes on the line, how costly will this incident be for SVG?

👇 Can Shane recover and protect his playoff cushion?

Ty Gibbs was right in the fight for third in points—but a disastrous pit stop just changed everything. 😬

The No. 54 team struggled to get the right-rear tire switched, forcing the jack man to come back around and lift the car again.

The result? Gibbs lost 25 spots on pit road and was the last lead-lap car off pit road.

“Do it the hard way today,” Tyler Allen told Gibbs.

That’s certainly not what Gibbs needed with his points battle heating up. 👀

Can Gibbs fight his way back into contention? 🏁👇

Just Lap 3, and Tyler Reddick and Erik Jones have already crashed in Turn 1. 😬

Jones had qualified well and looked to have a strong car this weekend, making this even more painful. With his Chase hopes on the line, this early wreck could be a major blow to his playoff push.

Broadcasters are saying Reddick wasn’t at fault—but what do YOU think? 👀

👇 Who’s to blame?
🏁 Reddick
🏁 Jones
🏁 The bumpy Iowa track
🏁 Just a racing incident

Sound off below!

Joey Logano is quietly dominating where it counts.

He rolls into @iowaspeedway tonight riding a 7-race top-10 streak on short tracks—the longest active streak in the NASCAR Cup Series.

Starting P3 tonight, he is in prime position to make it eight. But after his crew chief Paul Wolfe recently admitted the #22 team is still struggling heavily on intermediate tracks, here is the real question:

Can Logano ride this pure short-track dominance deep into The Chase, or will the 1.5-mile tracks doom him? And does the streak stay alive tonight? 👇

#NASCAR #IowaCorn350 #LuckyDogOnTrack

X (formerly Twitter)NASCAR (@NASCAR) on XHe's got the longest top-10 streak at short tracks, with seven straight. Does this continue today at @iowaspeedway for @joeylogano?

NASCAR and Speedway Motorsports want to revive the historic 122-year-old track, but they're facing heavy opposition from Nashville SC owner John Ingram right next door. Between ignored meetings, an anti-racing petition blocked by a judge, and paid workers caught on hidden camera using shady tactics, the fight for the venue has exploded. Heavyweights like Dale Jr. are now calling for a closed-door sit-down to save it.

Can the historic speedway and the soccer stadium co-exist, or is one destined to go? Let’s debate! 👇

X (formerly Twitter)NASCAR (@NASCAR) on XHe always seems to heat up this time of year. @joeylogano's third-place finish at @IMS advanced him two positions in the points standings.

As we head into the Iowa Corn 350 this Sunday, August 9, the fight for the final top-16 spots is getting tense. Joey Logano (13th), Bubba Wallace (14th), Shane van Gisbergen (15th), and Austin Cindric (16th) are desperately trying to protect their positions above the cutline.

Meanwhile, Ryan Preece is sitting just 38 points below the cutline in 17th, waiting for someone to make a mistake. With the regular season winding down, one bad race at the 7/8-mile oval could flip the entire Chase picture.

His stance: longer sessions help underfunded teams close the gap on the powerhouses guys like Noah Gragson need the extra 45 minutes to an hour way more than a Hendrick or JGR car that's already dialled in. He's even called out Denny Hamlin and Chase Elliott directly for not wanting more track time, saying their cars "show up relatively close" so there's less incentive for them to push it. Junior's prediction: NASCAR ditches the 20-minute Group A/B format within two years for a real 45-60 minute session. Small-team owners are backing him loudly on this one the current setup keeps the have-nots exactly where they started.
