NEWTON, Iowa – Bad weather halted Saturday’s activities at Iowa Speedway.
The NASCAR Cup Series was set to qualify for the Iowa Corn 350 at 1:05 p.m. ET for the first race on the 0.875-mile oval before rain flooded the track. Additionally, the NASCAR Xfinity Series qualifying session for the Hy-Vee Perks 250 was canceled earlier in the day.

Goodyear brought its wet-weather tires to Iowa for both series, but NASCAR race officials deemed the track too wet to warrant time trials on Saturday afternoon.
Saturday’s Xfinity Series race begins at 2:30 PM ET on USA Network, MRN Radio, NBC Sports App and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. The first Cup race in Iowa is scheduled for Sunday night at 7 p.m. ET (USA, MRN, NBC Sports App, SiriusXM).
