Race recap
Ty Gibbs Steals Iowa Victory as Bell and Blaney Dominate Laps
How Ty Gibbs won the Iowa Corn 350 Powered by Ethanol
Ty Gibbs captured the NASCAR Cup Series at Iowa, leading only 20 laps but taking the checkered flag ahead of Christopher Bell and Ryan Blaney. Bell led a race-high 108 laps from 22nd, while polesitter Blaney paced 129 circuits but settled for third. Josh Berry and Denny Hamlin completed the top five. Toyota placed four cars in the top six, with Gibbs earning 69 points. The 350-lap event saw multiple contenders fade, including Kyle Larson, who finished 33rd, 18 laps down.
The decisive moment
Gibbs surged from sixth on the grid to seize the lead late, holding off a charging Bell over the closing laps. Despite Bell leading 108 laps and Blaney 129, Gibbs' No. 54 Toyota was out front when it mattered, securing his second win of 2026.
What the result means
The victory strengthens Gibbs' playoff positioning, moving him to 820 points with two wins in 24 starts. Bell's runner-up and Blaney's third keep both firmly in the title hunt, while Larson's 33rd-place finish marks a significant setback for the regular-season championship battle.
