NASCAR at Iowa 2025: Start time, TV, streaming, lineup for Iowa Corn 350
It's getting close to crunch time for playoff seeding in the NASCAR Cup Series. This week in Iowa Speedway marks four races to go until the 10-race postseason kicks off at Darlington Raceway. Bubba Wallace secured his spot last week by winning the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for his first win in nearly three years. Despite low fuel, Wallace kept a charging Kyle Larson behind on the final restart in overtime. Denny Hamlin, Ryan Preece and Brad Keselowski rounded out the top five. Further down the order, Ty Gibbs finished 21st to win NASCAR's inaugural in-season challenge over Ty Dillon. SERIOUS INJURY: Stewart Friesen suffers multiple injuries in dirt racing track crash The grid heads to another oval this week but one that's quite different from Indianapolis. Iowa Speedway is a short track oval with relatively low banking compared to many others on the calendar. It's a new track – last year was the first NASCAR Cup Series race there – but it compares relatively well to longtime NASCAR mainstay Richmond Raceway. Wallace is the latest driver to secure his spot in the playoffs. So far, 13 of the 16 spots have been clinched; three remain in play with four races to go. Here's everything you need to know to get ready for the Iowa Corn 350 powered by Ethanol at Iowa Speedway on Sunday, Aug. 3.

Again fighting for card, but with a different caddie, Joel Dahmen shoots 61 at Wyndham Championship
Listen to Jordan Spieth interview live from Sedgefield on Golf Today as he tries to spark a run to the playoffs currently sitting in 50th in the FedExCup standings. Joel Dahmen likened his chances of making the playoffs to his beloved Seattle Seahawks needing to win by 50 points to do the same. Dahmen's given himself a chance, however, thanks to a 9-under 61 in the opening round of the Wyndham Championship, the PGA Tour's regular-season finale. He entered the week 101st in FedExCup points, with the top 70 earning a spot next week in Memphis. As the current outright leader in Greensboro, North Carolina, Dahmen is projected to jump inside the top 50. 'Thursday's a long ways from Sunday,' Dahmen said. 'I've been here a lot, so just happy to get off to a good start and, yeah, we'll see where things fall.' It's been a odd few weeks for the 37-year-old. He split from his longtime caddie, Geno Bonnalie, ahead of the Barracuda Championship, and then tied for 17th – his first top-50 finish since collapsing in April's Corales Puntacana Championship, where he bogeyed his final three holes to lose by one. Last week presented a few more closing challenges. Dahmen shot 67-65 in the 3M Open but doubled the par-5 18th in Round 3 to lose ground with a 71. He was on pace to post a nice bounce-back number Sunday, but hit two in the water at 18 in making triple bogey. A tie for 39th cost him two spots in the FEC standings, dropping him outside the fully-exempt cut line. While the playoffs would be a 'bonus,' Dahmen's primary goal is keeping his card. He made a final-event run last year to finish No. 124, when the top 125 earned playing privileges for this season. That benchmark has been reduced to the top 100, and Dahmen finds himself around the cutoff again. With his longtime coach, Rob Rashell, currently serving as caddie, Dahmen made 10 birdies and one bogey Thursday at Sedgefield Country Club. 'Man, I love Geno. We still text almost daily. He's doing well. Yeah, I mean, I miss him but sometimes the hardest — you have to do something hard to — look, it wasn't an easy decision. I won't say I'm not happy about it but, like, it's hard. He's my best friend, he's still my best friend,' Dahmen said. 'But I had to change something with me. It was more about me. It was my mentality, it was what I was doing, and I need to take ownership of what I was doing. I was not doing a good job of that. So a way for me to do it is as simple as just playing golf on my own a little bit. So yeah, I love him, I miss him. I think we'll see him out here again soon.' Alex Noren, No. 141 in FEC points, is one back after a 62. Cameron Young, seeking his first PGA Tour win and No. 40 in the standings, is tied for third at 7 under, along with Aaron Rai and Nico Echavarria. Jordan Spieth, No. 50, and Adam Scott, No. 85, are in a group three back.
