Limited schedule
editNotes
edit- ^ Entries were fielded in a collaboration with Naake-Klauer Motorsports.
Schedule
editThe full schedule was announced on December 6, 2023.[37] Some race dates were announced before then as part of the announcement of the main ARCA Series schedule on November 28.[38]
Notes:
- The race at Phoenix in March is a combination race with the ARCA Menards Series (highlighted in gold).
- Race names and title sponsors are subject to change. Not all title sponsors/names of races have been announced for 2024. For the races where a 2024 name and title sponsor has yet to be announced, the title sponsors/names of those races in 2023 are listed.
Schedule changes
edit- The race at Evergreen Speedway was removed from the schedule and replaced by a race at Tri-City Raceway. Both tracks are located in the state of Washington. Tri-City Raceway was last on the West Series schedule in 2003.[39]
- The race at Madera Speedway moves from October to September.
- The race at All-American Speedway moves from September to October.
- The race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Bullring was removed from the schedule and replaced by a second race at the newly-renamed Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway. (The track was previously Kern County Raceway Park and was renamed in November 2023 when Kevin Harvick joined the track's staff as a consultant after his retirement from driving full-time in NASCAR and after the track was purchased by new owners.)[40]
- The race at Madera Speedway moves from September 21st to 28th[41]
- The first race at Irwindale was originally supposed to be held on March 30, but was postponed to July 6 due to impending bad weather.[42]
Results and standings
editRace results
editDrivers' championship
editNotes:
- The pole winner also receives 1 bonus point, similar to the previous ARCA points system used until 2019 and unlike NASCAR.[44]
- Additionally, after groups of 5 races of the season, drivers that compete in all 5 races receive 50 additional points.[44] These points bonuses will be given after the races at Irwindale (race #1) and Roseville.
(key) Bold – Pole position awarded by time. Italics – Pole position set by final practice results or rainout. * – Most laps led. ** – All laps led.
