Mayer took control of the race in the closing laps, seizing the lead from Jesse Love on a late restart and holding firm over the final 28 laps. The win marked the eighth of Mayer’s Xfinity Series career and his first of the 2025 season.
NEWTON, Iowa — An extraordinary spat of cautions in Sunday’s Iowa Corn 350 Powered by Ethanol allowed William Byron to save an extraordinary amount of fuel, and that proved the difference in Byron’s second victory of the season and first since the DAYTONA 500.
Squeezing 144 laps out of his fuel cell at an Iowa Speedway track where the fuel window is roughly 100 laps, Byron crossed the finish line ahead of a trio of pursuers—pole winner Chase Briscoe, first and second stage winner Brad Keselowski and defending race winner Ryan Blaney—all on different strategies.

After a rough stretch that saw his number of DNFs (did not finish) mount to seven in the first 20 races of the NASCAR Cup Series season, the driver of the No. 12 Team Penske Ford has scored two straight top 10s heading to Sunday’s Iowa Corn 350 Powered by Ethanol at Iowa Speedway (3:30 p.m. ET on USA, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
