The 2024 Hy-Vee PERKS 250 was the 15th stock car race of the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 10th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, June 15, 2024, at Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa, a 0.875 miles (1.408 km) permanent asphalt tri-oval shaped racetrack. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 250 laps, but was extended to 253 laps due to a NASCAR overtime finish. In an action-packed race, Sam Mayer, driving for JR Motorsports, would take the lead from Riley Herbst in the late stages, and held off the field on an overtime restart to earn his sixth career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, and his second of the season.[8] Chandler Smith had dominated the majority of the race, leading a race-high 131 laps before fading back in the final stage to finish 8th.[9] To fill out the podium, Herbst, driving for Stewart–Haas Racing, and Corey Heim, driving for Sam Hunt Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

This was the first race for the series at Iowa since 2019,[10] after the 2020 race was canceled due to the pandemic and the race was removed from the 2021 schedule.[11][12][13]
