Mayer, 22, of Franklin, Wisconsin, held off Reiley Herbst in overtime in the June 2024 Hy-Vee Perks 250 at the Iowa Speedway. On Saturday Aug. 2, Mayer cruised to his second-straight win in the Xfinity Series race after a late restart.

The NASCAR schedule on Saturday afternoon took us to Iowa Speedway for 250 laps of the HyVee Perks 250. In a field that included Connor Zilisch, Ross Chastain, Austin Dillon and Carson Hocevar, the NASCAR Xfinity Series results from Iowa shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. But we did get a new winner in 2025.

It was a repeat win at the Iowa Speedway as Sam Mayer clinched the HyVee Perks 250 for the second year in a row.
