The 2023 Hy-Vee IndyCar Race Weekend was a pair of IndyCar motor races held on July 22, 2023, and July 23, 2023, at Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa. They were the 11th and 12th rounds of the 2023 IndyCar season. The race weekend has been held since 2007, except for a brief hiatus in 2021 after a change of focus by the owner of the track.

The first race (officially the Hy-Vee Homefront 250 presented by Instacart) was held on July 22, 2023, with the second (officially the Hy-Vee One Step 250 presented by Gatorade) being held on July 23, 2023. Each race consisted of 250 laps and were both won by Josef Newgarden.

Each race was accompanied with concerts before and after it with Carrie Underwood and Kenny Chesney performing on Saturday, and Zac Brown Band and Ed Sheeran performing on Sunday.[1]
