N EWTON, Iowa — Sam Mayer led the final 28 laps to win Saturday's Xfinity Series race at Iowa Speedway and claim his first victory of the season. The win is Mayer's eighth career in the Xfinity Series. He snapped a 25-race winless streak.

Sam Mayer scooted past a Jesse Love, who slid in a patch of oil and never looked back on his path to his first NASCAR Xfinity Series win of the season in Saturday's HyVee Perks 250 at Iowa. The win was also the first ever for the Haas Factory Team.

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.
