Noah Gragson started 23rd and finished 16th in last year's inaugural NASCAR Cup Series race at Iowa, but he was driving for Stewart-Haas Racing last year and is now driving for Front Row Motorsports, which has much slower cars. As a result, Gragson qualified significantly worse and will be starting 31st this time. In his two Xfinity Series races there in 2019 before the track was briefly removed from the schedule, he finished sixth and fourth so he's been fairly consistent without having great speed. Since Gragson did finish better than he started last year and qualified even worse this year, he should likely earn some Place Differential points, but probably not enough to compensate for his likely mediocre finish.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
