Sam Mayer passed Riley Herbst with seven laps remaining and held on during a green-white-checkered re-start to win the Hy-Vee Perks 250 at the Iowa Speedway.

It was Mayer’s sixth Xfinity Series win in his last 29 starts but his name is rarely mention as one of those who may get promoted to the Cup Series.

Herbst was inside of Mayer on the final re-start but could not make the pass.

The outside lane on re-starts was an advantage the entire race.
