– It’s only been one race, but no Cup driver has won an Iowa race and the Pole in the same weekend, and no driver has swept both stages as seen in the tables below.

| 1 | 2024-17 | 57.43 | Ryan Blaney | 1 | 2024-17 | 57.43 | Ryan Blaney |
– Based on the table above leading a lot of laps this weekend will be key to winning the race as Ryan Blaney led well over half the race en route to his win last year.
| Rank | Race | Laps Led% | Driver | Fin. | Rank | Race | Laps Led% | Driver | Fin. |
| 1 | 2024-17 | 57.43 | Ryan Blaney | 1st | 6 | 2024-17 | 1.43 | Brad Keselowski | 10th |

| 5 | 2024-17 | 2.00 | Christopher Bell | 4th |
– Leading laps this year may be an indication of a good finish this weekend as 7 of the 9 drivers to lead a lap at Iowa last year finished in the Top 10.

– In the first Cup race at Iowa last year Ryan Blaney put up a really good Driver Rating that’s going to be hard to beat this year.
