The 2025 Hy-Vee PERKS 250 was the 22nd stock car race of the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 11th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, August 2, 2025, at Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa, a 0.875 miles (1.408 km) permanent asphalt tri-oval shaped racetrack. The race took the scheduled 250 laps to complete. In a wild race, Sam Mayer, driving for Haas Factory Team, would take the lead from Jesse Love on a late restart, and led the final 28 laps to earn his eighth career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, his first of the season, and his second consecutive win at Iowa.^[9] This was also the first win for Haas Factory Team in the Xfinity Series. To fill out the podium, Love, driving for Richard Childress Racing, and Ross Chastain, driving for JR Motorsports, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

Iowa Speedway is a 7/8-mile (1.4 km) paved oval motor racing track in Newton, Iowa, United States, approximately 30 miles (48 km) east of Des Moines. The track was designed with influence from Rusty Wallace and patterned after Richmond Raceway, a short track where Wallace was very successful. It has over 25,000 permanent seats as well as a unique multi-tiered Recreational Vehicle viewing area along the backstretch. The track hosts the NTT IndyCar Series and NASCAR events.

After the 2020 race was canceled due to the pandemic, the race was removed from the 2021 schedule.^[10][11][12] In 2024, it was announced that the Xfinity Series would return to Iowa with a Cup Series race.^[13][14]

Jesse Love, driving for Richard Childress Racing, would score the pole for the race, with a lap of 23.642, and a speed of 133.237 mph (214.424 km/h).^[17]
