William Byron's season has kind of spiraled out of control over the summer after a dominant spring, but he still stands in striking distance of the regular season championship and he is definitely a top contender to win at Iowa today. Not only did he finish second in the inaugural Cup Series race there last year, he also won on both his Xfinity Series and then-Camping World Truck Series debuts at the track and is nearly always good here, while he's only starting behind Chase Briscoe, who typically backslides through the field after winning poles. Furthermore, Byron was also the fastest Chevrolet in practice where he was fourth, so he is almost certainly one of the most likely drivers to dominate the race especially when considering how much speed Hendrick had last year too. The only thing that could give one pause is honestly Byron's recent slump, but that probably won't matter today.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
