Briscoe Secures Sixth NASCAR Pole at Iowa Speedway

Chase Briscoe continues to showcase his qualifying prowess in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series, securing his sixth pole position of the season at Iowa Speedway with a lap speed of 136.933 mph. Despite his string of front-row starts, Briscoe has managed only one win this year and expressed frustration about not converting poles into victories, joking about trading five poles for a race win. He credited his crew chief James Small and the engineering team for improving car performance, which has helped him consistently start races strong. Briscoe recently finished second at the Iowa Corn 350, marking his third runner-up finish in four races, and acknowledged the challenges of closing out races despite building momentum ahead of the playoffs. Meanwhile, Bubba Wallace, fresh off his first win in over 100 races at Indianapolis, managed a sixth-place finish at Iowa despite car damage, emphasizing a subdued celebration due to life’s realities. The competition remains intense, with William Byron winning the Iowa race and consistently challenging Briscoe on the track.
