The 2024 ARCA Menards Series was the 72nd season of the ARCA Menards Series, a stock car racing series sanctioned by NASCAR in the United States. The season began at Daytona International Speedway with the Hard Rock Bet 200 on February 16 and ended with the Owens Corning 200 at Toledo Speedway on October 5.




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 Daytona — Jake Finch, Connor Mosack, and Brent Crews.[4]

Schedule changes
- The race at Pocono Raceway was removed from the schedule and replaced by a race at Dover Motor Speedway. The East Series has had a race at Dover since 2004 and this will be the first year since NASCAR's acquisition of ARCA in 2020 that it has been a combination race with the main ARCA Series. It will also be the first time the main ARCA Series has ever had a race at Dover. This is the first time since 1986 that the main ARCA Series will not have a race at Pocono, ending a 37 year run.[99]
