Chase Briscoe earned the pole position and will start first in the Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway after qualifying. This is Briscoe's sixth pole of the season, and he will also be the only Toyota driver starting the race inside the top 10. In last year's Cup race at Iowa, his only start at the site, and while he was driving for Stewart-Haas Racing, he started sixth and placed 28th. After 22 races this year, Briscoe has one win, 10 top-10 finishes, and an average finish of 14.2. In practice for Sunday's Cup race, Briscoe ranked 13th in overall lap averages while displaying top-10 speeds in all other categories. Although Briscoe is a bit of a risk since he carries no upside, he still should carry enough speed in order to place in the top 10 and has a high chance of leading laps early. Briscoe works best as a contrarian play for tournaments, especially since his finishes have been all over the place this season.

Denny Hamlin of Joe Gibbs Racing will start in the 11th position for this week's Cup race at Iowa Speedway, the Iowa Corn 350.

In 22 races this season, Hamlin has four wins, 12 top-10 finishes, and an average finish of 12.5. In practice for this week's race, Hamlin ranked 11th in overall lap averages and displayed top-5 speeds in the 10, 15, and 20 consecutive lap average categories. Hamlin is the most expensive driver of the week for DFS, but he is well worth rostering since he carries race speed that can compete for the win and some upside to boot.

RFK Racing's Chris Buescher obtained a starting position of 27th for Sunday's Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway. This is the lowest starting position of Buescher's Cup career to date at Iowa.

In practice for this week's race, Buescher ranked 14th in overall lap averages and 13th in 10 consecutive lap averages. Although his DFS salary on DraftKings of $8,700 is close to being a top-priced driver, he is worth rostering in all formats with his high upside and also due to his solid 2025 performance overall, regardless of track type.

Ryan Preece of RFK Racing will start in the 33rd position for the Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway after qualifying.

Richard Childress Racing's Austin Dillon will start in the 18th position after qualifying for the Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway. This is a new career-best starting position for Dillon in the Cup Series at Iowa, a track where he also previously won in the Truck Series. In last year's Cup race at the site, which was his only Cup event there, Dillon started 36th and finished in the 18th position. He also participated in this weekend's Xfinity Series race at Iowa, where he started sixth and finished in the 14th position. After 22 races this season, Dillon has 11 top-20 finishes and an average finish of 21.4. In practice for Sunday's Cup race, Dillon ranked 15th in overall lap averages, 22nd in 10 consecutive lap averages, and 17th in 15 consecutive lap averages. Dillon's starting position in the middle of the pack makes him a playable and decent overall driver to consider for all formats, especially since his equipment is likely to have him maintain a top-20 finish.
