The 2023 Calypso 150 was the 9th stock car race of the 2023 ARCA Menards Series season, the 5th race of the 2023 ARCA Menards Series East season, and the 17th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, July 15, 2023, in Newton, Iowa at Iowa Speedway, a 0.875 mile (1.408 km) permanent quad-oval shaped racetrack. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 150 laps, but was extended to 156 laps due to a NASCAR overtime finish. Luke Fenhaus, driving for Pinnacle Racing Group, would steal the win after taking advantage of the lead on the final restart, and held off William Sawalich to earn his first career ARCA Menards Series win, his second career ARCA Menards Series East win, and his third win of the season. Sawalich had dominated the entire race, leading 154 of the 156 laps until the caution came out with two laps to go. To fill out the podium, Sawalich, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, and Jesse Love, driving for Venturini Motorsports, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
