Defending NASCAR Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney earned his first victory of the 2024 season, winning the inaugural race at Iowa over the Hendrick Motorsports duo of William Byron and Chase Elliott.
Kyle Larson, who was a dominant force in the race, crashed after contact from Daniel Suarez with 130 laps to go. The incident cost him the regular season points lead, now trailing team-mate Elliott by 8pts.
NASCAR now makes its lone trip go NHMS where Martin Truex Jr. is the defending race winner. MTJ is still searching for his first victory of the year and recently announced his plans to retire from full-time competition at the conclusion of the 2024 season.
This week in the news, it was announced that actor-turned -racer Frankie Muniz will make three NASCAR Truck Series starts later this year. IndyCar veteran Conor Daly, who already has starts in all three national divisions of NASCAR, will make his ARCA debut at Mid-Ohio.
It was also revealed that Gene Haas will continue as a NASCAR team owner in 2025. He will operate a two-car Xfinity team and retain one Cup charter.
