Welcome back to Mash the Gas Podcast! In this episode, hosts Kevin Batstone and Jeff Davis dive into the action-packed Iowa Corn 350, the inaugural NASCAR Cup Series race at Iowa Speedway. Fans near Des Moines have waited years for this moment, and it did not disappoint!

Ryan Blaney stole the show, leading over 200 laps and celebrating his victory with more than 80 family members in attendance. Meanwhile, the race had its fair share of drama: Kyle Larson's crash at the start of Stage 3 took him out of contention, and Kyle Busch ended up in the garage. Martin Truex Jr. announced his retirement at the end of the 2024 season. Blaney’s win locks him into the playoffs, adding another layer of excitement to the season.

Kevin and Jeff also discuss the race's finer points, including inconsistencies with yellow flags, impressive short track racing, and tire wear. Looking ahead, they prepare for the upcoming race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where the winner will be awarded a unique trophy—a lobster.
