NASCAR Radioactive | 2026 Iowa Speedway

They're bumping and grinding, coming off the corner! And he lays in the wall! Wrong place, wrong time. Alright, we are smoked. Yeah, yeah, cool. Professional. The Heartland of America loves its corn and loves its racing. It could be some dreams realized here at Iowa Speedway today. Stay in the ballgame, have fun. Yeah, let's do it guys. Have a great day down there. Do the best job I can. Thanks for the fast car. Be safe, good luck. Let's go! Redekinda Jones, both in the wall! Blaney is on the gas, we're back at it here at Iowa. Larson, Blaney, side by side. We'll work on the high and the loose at the break. There may be a problem with the 77 of Carson Hosabal. Engine started to miss. I do not copy. Like an engine miss? Yep. Okay, make sure alternator switch is turned up. No, it wasn't. It wasn't turned up. You've got to f***ing tell me. I didn't know you started with it off. Yeah, I've flashed long cylinders or something. That sucks. Whoa! Just a little bit of a misjudge. Dave, shake it off. I didn't really like that. Good for it. Refocus. Starting to get better in both these guys around you. Coming to green, Tucker. Stage one goes to Ryan Blaney. Four tires leaving on the jack. The jack gets dropped before the right rear is tight, forcing the jack man to come back. Ty Gibbs came onto pit road fourth, off from pit road, hit 28th. It was a hard way today. Got your back, buddy. We're going to fight for it. I wish we would do this s*** in places and get past each other. Got you, buddy. The teammates made really good progress, so getting a restart here. Focus forward. Ryan Blaney has led all 78 laps, has his teammate right alongside. Still hanging. Bumper just due to bumper. Cautions out. Oh, SVG spun around. I don't know what happened. It felt like the whole lot was shattered and three laps of it getting worse and worse. I don't know if it's possible. So there's 10 in front of you. Come. Stay out. 10. A lot more. Everybody's coming. Chase Elliott stays on the racetrack. He will take the lead. All there. You're good. Holy s***. Tell him to f***ing get that camera out of there. I'm out. Destroyed it. Yeah, copy. I saw it. Great. Just had to do something different there, so it's good. I like it. Check that box. Chase Elliott leads the field back to green. Three tops. That'd be tight. We're 3-1. Dang it. Ryan Reynolds in turn number four, and it's Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Yeah, see, full wide. Just not enough room in this racetrack. Could have rear damage here. What happened there? Well, you were like four wide. I think 71. You just barely got into there. Not really sure what the 33 was doing there. We know that he's something like that. You just stay focused. We're way better than he is. He's just annoyed. When we got into three, just everything closed up. Absolute dog. Let's do it again and see if we can build some laps here. It's Elliott and Blaney side-by-side into turn one with Joey Logano right there. Got momentum. 23. Got a run on the bottom. Keep him there. Watch the bottom. Gear bumper. Watch the bottom. Push. Out of line. Head down. Inside. Bottom three. Wow. Look at the 23 as Blaney gets a little loose. Bomber is on the move. All good here. 23 don't last long, but he's good on them. Fire off. Hang on. Some more coming by you. I feel like it's locked up on me a little worse as I go. Open this time. Do not pass the pace car before the line. Hang on. Left front okay there. Jack up. Left front off. But slow. They're going to drop the jack with no left front installed. It didn't hurt anything. Running over the tire like that completely. Long way to go. Only 140 in. What do you got, Bubba? You'll get a notification here in a minute. We're speeding through about 6. 6. 10-4. We got a good car. We passed all one. Do it again. I didn't hear you say go back to green, so I just ran my revs until I noticed why I was gapping to 12. I was so worried. I thought we passed the pace car. Just take me out of this hole. Let's go. Long way to go. Mellon Hamlin. Still inside. 42. Still inside here. Still inside. Still top of three. Look at Kyle Lawson. He doesn't want to be there. He's, oh. And he's in the wall with Bowman. All right. We are smoked and destroyed. Did somebody jam it in on him, or was he not able to pull the straight line like normal? He said he downshifted, and it got stuck in neutral. That's all he said. Yeah. Cool. Professional. All right. All you. And the teammates are in the top three positions. Faster car. Perfect. Put your stage in. Cool it down. Here we go. Everything where you want it. Let's go. This is stage three of the Iowa Con 350. Still outside. Guard your bottom into three. Laney continues to be loose on the start of these runs. Mellon making a look at him. All good. Nine's got the 20. Trap low. Hit your marks. At the door. At the wheel. Be ready. Clear. All right. All good. You can take advantage of this down there in three, but you're better than him over here. Big run right here. Look at this. Bell closes that gap dramatically. Coming back to the inside. Clear now. Clear. Nice work. One more stop for the field. We need the biggest gap we can get. Mena 12's a problem there. Set it up. Oh, my goodness. A moment for both Blaney and Gibbs. There's oil down, dude. Mena 12 just ran through it. He stays away from that seam. Stays lower than what he was before. Oh, what a corner. And capitalizes. The 54 has passed the 12. He is 2.2 back. Bell's knotted up in traffic. Repeating. The pit window has just opened. Right side tire is open. Between us and Bell right now. Fastest car. When it cycles through, the 54 will be leading than you. Bell is shifting for reference, if you think that would help you. I don't have a left rear tire. It doesn't help. Copy that. This is a race for the win, right? It is game on between the teammates. Doing great. Don't overdrive. Three. It looks good. He's about to get in this traffic. He's slipping just like we are. Now he's going to be up top. Keep that top shut off. Can he drop? Can't quite get it done. Break it to the checkers. Ty Gibbs wins in Iowa. Ty Gibbs. My man. Great, great job. Way to go back today. Great job, team. Yeah, thanks guys. Appreciate Christopher. Great sneak in. That was a good deliberation there. Sorry, man. I thought that... This is what you call a bad second place finish, for sure. But, I don't know. I don't know what else to say. All right. Good job, guys. Ready to keep fighting all night. Starting down. That's a close one. I'm proud of everyone. That's a close one. I'm proud of everyone. That's a close one.
