How NASCAR's TV picture shifted in 2025
NASCAR's television landscape changed in 2025 when TNT Sports resumed broadcasting Cup Series events, returning to the sport after an earlier run that stretched from 2007 to 2014. That decade-long gap means many viewers may still associate race coverage with the networks of a previous era.
The Iowa Corn 350, however, is not on TNT. According to coverage from outlets including Yahoo Sports and MSN, the race at Iowa Speedway is being carried by USA Network, with a scheduled start of 2:30 p.m. Central Time, or 3:30 p.m. Eastern. Those details have not been independently confirmed, so viewers would be wise to check local listings before tuning in. The shifting mix of broadcasters reflects NASCAR's broader media arrangements, which now spread Cup Series races across multiple networks and platforms over the course of a season.

Four races left before the Chase

What is not yet known is where those races will air. No channel or streaming platform has been confirmed for the remaining pre-Chase events, so viewers should check listings closer to each race date.
Also unconfirmed is how the Iowa race itself will unfold. With Ryan Blaney reported to be starting from pole, the result at Iowa Speedway could shape the picture heading into the final stretch, but any projection about the Chase field at this stage would be speculation. Coverage of the remaining schedule is expected to be clarified as each race approaches.
