– Through 2 Iowa races it is clear that you want to start 2nd this weekend as both Iowa Cup winners have started 2nd.
| Rank | Race | Finish | Driver | Rank | Race | Finish | Driver |
| 1 | 2024-17 | 34 | Kyle Larson | 2 | 2025-23 | 2 | Chase Briscoe |
– Through 2 Cup races at Iowa there is no trend as to how the Pole winner will finish this weekend as one did good, and one did bad.

– It’s only been two races, but no Cup driver has won an Iowa race and the Pole in the same weekend, but Chase Briscoe did get close last year.

| 2 | 2025-23 | 40.29 | William Byron | 2 | 2024-17 | 57.43 | Ryan Blaney |
– It appears that leading a lot of laps at Iowa is key to winning as both Cup winners here have led over 40% of the race in which they won.
| Rank | Race | Laps Led% | Driver | Fin. | Rank | Race | Laps Led% | Driver | Fin. |
| 1 | 2024-17 | 57.43 | Ryan Blaney | 1st | 6 | 2024-17 | 9.14 | Josh Berry | 7th |

| 5 | 2025-23 | 19.43 | Brad Keselowski | 3rd | 10 | 2025-23 | 3.14 | Chase Elliott | 14th |
– Based on the two Iowa Cup races leading 6% or more of the laps this weekend (21+ laps) is a good omen as 6 of the 7 drivers to do so finished inside the Top 10.

| 5 | 2024-17 | William Byron | 120.0 | 2nd | 10 | 2025-23 | Carson Hocevar | 100.9 | 8th |
– Hendrick Motorsports has been in a bad slump of late, but don’t be surprised if William Byron breaks out of that slump this weekend as he’s the only driver to rank top 5 in the Driver Rating table above twice.
| Most Recent | Driver | Finish |
| 2024-17 | Daniel Suarez | 9th |

– The two Cup races here at Iowa have been quite different in terms of how close the competition was with last year’s race having twice as many cars on the lead lap as the 2024 race did.

– As stated near the beginning of this article you definitely want to start 2nd this weekend as that starting position has never finished worse than 1st here at Iowa.
