Jesse Love, the 2023 series champion, did not return to run full-time in the ARCA Menards Series in 2024 and defend his title as he joined Richard Childress Racing to run full-time for them in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2024.[1] At the conclusion of the season finale at Toledo, Andrés Pérez de Lara of Rev Racing became the first foreign-born ARCA Menards Series champion.[2] Pérez de Lara also became the first champion since Bob Dotter in 1980 to win the title without a single race win.[3] In fact, no full-time competitor won any races as Joe Gibbs Racing driver William Sawalich took nine victories, Connor Zilisch won five times, Tanner Gray took two victories, and the rest of the wins were split evenly by Gus Dean — the winner at DaytonaJake Finch, Connor Mosack, and Brent Crews.[4]
