Qualifying

Qualifying was held on Friday, June 23, at 5:05 PM CST.[2] Since Iowa Speedway is under 1.5 miles (2.4 km), the qualifying system was a multi-car system that included three rounds. The first round was 15 minutes, where every driver would be able to set a lap within the 15 minutes. Then, the second round would consist of the fastest 24 cars in Round 1, and drivers would have 10 minutes to set a lap. Round 3 consisted of the fastest 12 drivers from Round 2, and the drivers would have 5 minutes to set a time. Whoever was fastest in Round 3 would win the pole.[5]

Noah Gragson of Kyle Busch Motorsports would win the pole after advancing from both preliminary rounds and setting the fastest lap in Round 3, with a time of 23.136 and an average speed of 136.151 miles per hour (219.114 km/h).[6]

Jennifer Jo Cobb was the only driver to fail to qualify.
