The 2024 NTT IndyCar Series' two-part Iowa skirmish kicked off with the first part known as the Hy-Vee Homefront 250.
The first part of the IndyCar Iowa double-header was a dramatic race with lots of crashes and mishaps. It kicked off with Romain Grosjean and two others being involved in an opening lap incident. Then on lap 81, Graham Rahal had a mechanical issue that caused the second caution of the race. After the pit stops, Scott McLaughlin took the lead. He held it until lap 176 when Alex Palou crashed in turn one. With 40 laps to go, Linus Lundqvist also had a mechanical issue. And then with 28 laps to go, Colton Herta went off track. Ed Carpenter crashed with 22 laps remaining.
