The NASCAR Cup Series field for the Iowa Corn 350 is set for Sunday. The No. 34 Front Row Motorsports Ford driven by David Gilliland and the No. 60 RFK Racing Ford driven by Ryan Preece both failed pre-race inspection twice, impacting their pit selection. This penalty results in the ejection of each team's car chief, adding strategic challenges for the race. With the penalties issued, both teams will work from assigned pit stalls rather than chosen locations, critical at Iowa Speedway where track position is paramount.
