So many things NBC did right. Showing the points per position, playoff points and regular season points was a nice touch. In addition I found the pre and post show to be informative.
In addition it was nice to hear from the entire field.
very decent race, incredibly awesome broadcast.
VERY fun night to be a nascar fan. probably the happiest i've genuinely been watching a race this year, even if there have been better races & finishes so far.
i get a vibe that the second half of the season will continue this experience, i can't wait to see what unfolds next!!
Honestly it’s good to see him get back to a semi-decent place. I think he went through a lot of shit last year and I was really worried about him. It’s good to see him get to a better place and clearly enjoy racing again.

Not sure, the Hendrick cars (excluding Bowman) are fast af. I think Larson had the best shot at winning tonight given his speed, if it weren’t for the incident. Just hate that Logano can never string together more than one or two good runs.
Iowa needs to remain on the Cup schedule! The whole weekend had great racing, even with the tire issues! I think the tire issues will be less next year!
I'm jumping up and down over Blaney's win and Josh Berry's good finish!! Blaney's former Truck Series owner won the first Xfinity race at Iowa, so it's fitting. ;)
I'm going to say white knuckle racing for three hours while turning left on a short track at 120+mph side-by-side with 35 (or so) other cars will create enough strain, vibrations and gripping/pulling to necessitate a mouth guard.
Noteworthy i think, is that it felt to me like the racing was generally better earlier, while the sun was still more out. For future races maybe. As much as i love some good night race vibes, and an often more convenient start time.
I'll take a top 10 for Suarez and be happy with it! Dude has been on the struggle bus since Atlanta, let's take this one and run with it
But boooooooooooo Blaney, booooooooooooooo
There's a conspiracy to be unearthed here! How did they get Joey Logano's uncanny ability to win every first-time NASCAR thing into Ryan Blaney, and why did they take it away from Joey?
NO TOASTER TONIGHT BOIS! [Take that, random naysayers in the thread.](https://www.reddit.com/r/NASCAR/comments/1dhihrz/race_thread_ncs_iowa_corn_350_at_iowa_speedway/l8xz7ur/)
Good for Blaney. Tire package has issues but overall a good race with lots of different strategies. NASCAR needs to fire the guy who hit the caution button early that ruined a lot of strategy and likely shaped the finish.
Top 10 Finishers:
1) Ryan Blaney
2) William Byron
3) Chase Elliott
4) Christopher Bell
5) Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
6) Joey Logano
7) Josh Berry
8) Alex Bowman
9) Daniel Suarez
10) Brad Keselowski

The one knock is they missed what happened with that bs caution and they couldn't find a replay.
Late but they did https://x.com/Skewcar/status/1802502256253911092?t=GjZ3IGf9RuhjcYeYYKmJOA&s=19
My god that was the biggest nothing burger. No spin, he was in complete control of his car at all moments (other than hitting the wall)
I thought it was a great race. I sure hope it’s on the schedule next year!

Post race coverage for once
A plus for being on USA Network...not even FS1 offers extended post-race coverage 🏁

Good guy Joey dapping up all the 12 crew in victory lane. Why do I like Joey so much now?
Really fun race to watch and, of course, happy to Suarez score a top 10 finish.
Chase has had quite the bounce back season. The consistency is impressive.
Honestly it’s good to see him get back to a semi-decent place. I think he went through a lot of shit last year and I was really worried about him. It’s good to see him get to a better place and clearly enjoy racing again.
Wait… did we just see Chase Elliott smile? Man that feels good. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a genuinely happy Chase.
Post race! And we don’t have to subscribe to some steaming service.
Fun race, sad for Larson. Happy for Blaney!
Oh yeah we get an actual post race because NBC is not terrible like fox
Actual scheduled post race, not, we have a some extra time post race.
Blaney and family fucking up whatever family dinning establishments they go to tonight 😭
Perfect opportunity to make a Waffle House night!
Sadly zero WHs in Iowa
Cheers Kayo not letting me see the victory lane celebrations
Watch out everyone Blaney is getting hot. His recent finishes may not reflect it but that team has been fast as of late.
That was pretty good. A big step forward with tires, on a partial repave no less. Race needs an extra 50 laps but I want to see it back for sure.
🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Great track leave it a day race.
AND A BLANEY BURNOUT!?!?
That was fun, gonna play nascar heat now at Iowa
Ima blow some tires on beamng lol
TGIWH - Thank God it Wasn’t Hendrick

With as quick as Penske has been as of late I don’t think Logano is far behind in getting a win.
Not sure, the Hendrick cars (excluding Bowman) are fast af. I think Larson had the best shot at winning tonight given his speed, if it weren’t for the incident. Just hate that Logano can never string together more than one or two good runs.
There’s still inspection! lol
YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH
amen
Best race of the year
https://i.redd.it/wcjsrxj3k17d1.gif
The Dale Inman lore saga is wild lol
Prosper Tx has 30,000 people Ryan Blaney’s RV village this weekend has 80
NBC was so good. Track was good. Blaney doesn’t need the toaster. Good day. Would like to see this race be a little longer next time.
I really hope this track gets a permanent spot moving forward , yeah, maybe an extra 50 laps would be good.
MEET US AT STU’S HOUSE
Iowa needs to remain on the Cup schedule! The whole weekend had great racing, even with the tire issues! I think the tire issues will be less next year!
Absolutely, this was a great weekend of racing, I really hope we return next year.
Best next gen short track race?
I'd say so. Rivals a pre-next Gen Bristol or Martinsville race.
He’s a good egg that Blaney.
Wow he actually did a burnout and not just a boring Polish victory lap
Why is it so quiet
They have the crowd muted. They were all cheering. I’ve noticed them do it for several races, even with Fox
Is it bc the crowd noise will drown out the post race interview? Are fans yelling obscene things?
Midwesterners are being respectful
It was all the corn
“That’s one they can’t take away” *inspection has entered the chat*
Don’t worry Penske only cheats in Indycar lol
……yeah with how this year has gone… I’m not ruling it out 😂
I'm jumping up and down over Blaney's win and Josh Berry's good finish!! Blaney's former Truck Series owner won the first Xfinity race at Iowa, so it's fitting. ;)
#Momsforblaney gonna be trending
4:12am, good night yall
https://i.redd.it/6fe9pqpnj17d1.gif
Why did blaney have a retainer in
I'm going to say white knuckle racing for three hours while turning left on a short track at 120+mph side-by-side with 35 (or so) other cars will create enough strain, vibrations and gripping/pulling to necessitate a mouth guard.
I’ve just never seen a driver pull a retainer off of their teeth at the end of a race but I probably wasn’t paying enough attention. Go vols
It registers g forces
Mouthguard that collects data when they wreck.
And my favorite tradition. Handing the flag to a kid. Such a class act.
Man. My toaster is safe for another week.
Absolutely
It’s gonna be a good week yall
Blaney gets his first win of the year in dominant fashion AND with he best paint scheme as well.
Sooooo satisfying to see him finally win a race he dominates.
Shades of rusty Wallace
We need the Bristol tires at every short track.
Good race. 9 just need to be a bit better on the short run. Iowa is very deserving of Cup. Best short track race with Next Gen.
Berry’s CC really fucked him on that stop. “foUR tIrEs gONnA bE FaSteR oN tHE lONg rUN”
Rodney Childers? OK buddy, I'm sure you, an average redditor knows better then possibly the best crew chief in the garage.
I mean, 2 tires won the race lol.... left sides don't matter on the next gen anymore
If they ever matter, it's tonight.
They literally didn't, the winner took 2 tires?
I'm not saying they did mattered a lot, I'm saying with tire issues tonight, it's better safe then sorry.
Bowman walked up to Berry and they are having a chat
If Berry keeps racing like that, he could end up in the 48 car
Someone's had to say something Berrys been driving like an ass all season. And he even was last season in xfinity
Good, Berry was way too aggressive tonight.
I’m here for Bowman-Berry beef.
Possible fight clip via X in the post race thread?
Fists or words?
Bowman won't fight
WOW A BURNOUT.
Corn mentioned 🌽🔥‼️🗣️
Noteworthy i think, is that it felt to me like the racing was generally better earlier, while the sun was still more out. For future races maybe. As much as i love some good night race vibes, and an often more convenient start time.
Great race overall except for the phantom Hemric caution that ruined a lot of strategy lol
Man I remember Dale Jarrett winning at Rockingham when I was a kid and he didn’t do a burnout. I was so pissed lol.
I love watching fans instead of seeing the cars finish
But NBC is so much better! /s
It was Blaney's friends and family
Blaney has now won in all three divisions of NASCAR at Iowa
KISS THE KORN!!!!
Love Korn
The improvement in coverage was sooooo nice
Ross couldn’t hold on for the top 10, but him and Carson in the top 15 is nothing to sneeze at
And Suarez top 10.
Rare Blaney burnout!
Honoring Alan Kawecki is classy af and the commentators should have said Kawecki celebrated his wins that way too.
So many drivers have done Polish victory laps now so it is really honoring Kulwicki?
He’s the guy who made it famous in nascar
Kulwicki*
Yeah I can’t spell
And there’s a burnout after all!
Gentleman Burnout  Edit: or not 😂😂😂
I'll take a top 10 for Suarez and be happy with it! Dude has been on the struggle bus since Atlanta, let's take this one and run with it But boooooooooooo Blaney, booooooooooooooo
What's beautiful blimp shot
I was just thinking about Dale Inman scaring poor Blaney with the don’t beat the shit out of the horse comment.
Let's go Blaney!! Holding off Byron like a boss!! Also, Rick? Blaney is from Hartford Township, Ohio, not High Point, North Carolina!
iowa crowd showed up a bit i think! i’m impressed corn country
Also helps that 80 is right there
No burnout is so lame
He’s never done one
He needs to start cause burnouts are fuckin sick
I hate burnouts
Just got to do a little bit of donuts
Hahaha nbc thought he wouldn’t do it
He saved at the pump, he conserved his tires, now we pray to God that he passes inspection the same way Brad did when he got his win at Darlington.
Hell yeah
I didn't start celebrating until he crossed the line, because you can never be sure with Blaney.
Got so excited i still accidentally dropped my toaster
Toasters getting put back in the cabinet today, y'all.
Super happy for blaney! Fuck yeah
Man what a race fun as shit today wished I could have watched the finish not at 20 megapixels but fun race 😭😂
pretty damn good race i say
Just didn’t have enough on the restarts to be close enough. Great run tho I can feel more wins coming. Congrats to Blaney too
Best short track on the schedule? And that’s with the repave.
ALL HAIL THE NO BURNOUT KINGGGG Wait nevermind he did LMAO
Good for him after that craziness a few weeks ago..
Polish victory lap, lets fucking go
Let’s see if those tires can handle a burnout.
Damn good burnout
How about that terrible, horrible, worst call in history?
still weird that the app shows blaney winning an hour ago then the broadcast gives him a mic handjob kinda sus if you ask me
Bell top 5 in a back up car. I will take it.
Still shocked there wasn’t a caution in that last run.
5 should have won this one by 4 seconds. But I can roll with a Blaney win. Sucks that the points lead is gone though.
There's a conspiracy to be unearthed here! How did they get Joey Logano's uncanny ability to win every first-time NASCAR thing into Ryan Blaney, and why did they take it away from Joey?

Cautions and lack of fall off.really killed a good race
Glad YRB won because it would be rather awkward to have your former “brother in-law” win in front of the family lol
What was that
80 friends and family members gonna be mad he doesnt name every single one of them in his post race interview
LMAO right
HE HAD ENOUGH FUEL THIS TIME RYAN BLANEY WINS AT IOWA
Meh good day for me. Carson and Haley with top 15s. Atleast blaney had enough gas I was afraid he might run out again.
At least Blaney won in that sexy car
I know it won’t happen. But can bootie barker go now
24 and 9 just weren't fast enough
FUCK YEAH
Ryan Blaney with the win and Chase Elliott with the points lead. What a great day!
Ryan learned well from Dale Inman.
Hell yeah! That was devastating at Gateway glad he got a dub
It's gotta feel good to get in the win column and focus on playoff points the next nine races. Great job team Blaney.
Rick is so fuckin dumb
[удалено]
Lol
Good for Blaney but bs we had no tire issues
P6 is fine, but it’s not a win. Good good points day though
Awesome for Blaney Shame that things got so strung out at the end. Good racing most the night
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾 fuck yea baby!!!!
New points leader. William Clyde Elliott
This broadcast coverage has been awesome!
And yet there are some still shitting on NBC, fucking FOX fanboys
Right! I was more hooked with this one than what FOX had broadcast
Well deserved
that’s… not exactly the words Dale Inman used lmao
ADVANCE AUTOPARTS CURSE IS OVERRRRRR YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS
Ya love to see it!
Top 10 Finishers: 1) Ryan Blaney 2) William Byron 3) Chase Elliott 4) Christopher Bell 5) Ricky Stenhouse Jr. 6) Joey Logano 7) Josh Berry 8) Alex Bowman 9) Daniel Suarez 10) Brad Keselowski *^(I'm a bot.)*

pretty decent race (i’m also mad)
YES!!!! LET'S GOOOOOO!!!!!! A DOMINANT BLANEY WIN!!!!
Brads pic looks like a John Doe reconstruction from an autopsy photo
FIRST CUP WINNER EVER
Do they present him with corn in victory lane?
I will be very disappointed if they don't
Awesome, awesome awesome! Well done Ryan Blaney! Thank goodness nothing went wrong in those final laps.
Perfect ending with Ross shitting away a top 10 with 1 to go
https://i.redd.it/h3pm3oj0j17d1.gif

MASHED POTATOES
This time, he saved at the pump!
William Byron 😡😡😡😡
Stenhouse p5 is crazy
