NASCAR changes Cup Series qualifying procedure at Iowa Speedway after rain delay

With rain coming through the area, NASCAR had to make a choice at Iowa Speedway and alter qualifying for the Cup Series. There will only be a single round with Group A and Group B alternating their positions throughout the field.

Usually, the Cup Series has Group A and B qualifying. The five fastest from those groups go to the final round to fight over the top-10 spots. There are still groups but things are a little different today in the NASCAR Cup Series at Iowa.

The five fastest from Group A and B will make up the top-10 based off of their times. Each driver gets two laps to qualify if they choose to do so. After the top-10 is set, drivers from Group A and B will alternate positions until the field is completely set.

Weird b/c one round … Top-5 Group A and Top-5 Group B will be top-10 in order of speed … then the rest of Group A is outside lane, the rest of Group B is inside lane.
