The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series is the 76th season for NASCAR professional stock car racing in the United States and the 53rd season for the modern-era Cup Series. The pre-season started with the Busch Light Clash on February 3 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The Clash would then be followed by the Bluegreen Vacations Duel qualifying races on February 15. The season would then officially kick off with the 66th running of the Daytona 500 (the first points race of the season) on February 19, both at Daytona International Speedway. The season will end with the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway on November 10.
This is the first season without Kevin Harvick since 2000, as he retired after the 2023 season and joined the NASCAR on Fox broadcast booth in 2024, [1] and the first season since 2011 without Aric Almirola, who stepped away from racing full-time after the 2023 season. In addition, this will be the last season for NASCAR's current TV rights deal, which began in 2015. [2]
Ryan Blaney of Team Penske entered the season as the defending 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion. [3]

The Busch Clash was moved from Sunday, February 4 to Saturday, February 3 in advance of the February 2024 California atmospheric rivers. This resulted in the cancellation of scheduled heat races, as the event was condensed into a one-day practice, qualifying, and race event. Denny Hamlin took the pole for the 23-car field, with notable drivers such as Daniel Suárez, Austin Dillon, Austin Cindric, and Christopher Bell failing to qualify for the 150-lap event. Hamlin led most of the first 50 laps before yielding the lead to Ty Gibbs on lap 50. Gibbs led 84 of the next 91 laps, as Justin Haley, Chase Elliott, and Todd Gilliland all failed to finish due to mechanical issues. Hamlin reclaimed the lead on a restart with ten laps remaining as Gibbs fell back through the field. Gibbs spun with two laps remaining, ultimately finishing 18th. Hamlin held off on the final restart to win. [142]
The Daytona 500 was moved from Sunday to Monday due to rain. On lap 6, John Hunter Nemechek bumped into Harrison Burton, causing a collision involving Carson Hocevar, Kaz Grala, Austin Dillon, Ryan Preece, and Jimmie Johnson in the tri-oval. From the ensuing restart until lap 191, the race was incident-free, with Chase Elliott winning the first stage and Ryan Blaney winning the second stage. On lap 191, as the field entered turn 3, William Byron turned Brad Keselowski into the wall, collecting Blaney, Logano, Elliott, Denny Hamlin, Chris Buescher, Daniel Hemric, Todd Gilliland, Tyler Reddick, and others, resulting in a red flag. At the white flag, Ross Chastain was turned when Corey LaJoie made contact with Austin Cindric, bringing out the caution. Byron was ahead of teammate Alex Bowman when the caution came out and was awarded the victory. This is the 9th Daytona 500 win for Hendrick Motorsports, tying them with Petty Enterprises for the most all-time. [143]
Michael McDowell started on the pole. On Lap 2, Austin Dillon was turned and collected Christopher Bell, Alex Bowman, Noah Gragson, Josh Williams, Harrison Burton, Daniel Hemric, John Hunter Nemechek, and others. McDowell won the first stage, and Austin Cindric won the second stage as Joey Logano hit the wall along with Chris Buescher and Denny Hamlin. Todd Gilliland impressed with a good performance and led the most laps. Chase Elliott spun after contact with Ross Chastain. Brad Keselowski hit the wall along with Kyle Larson and Corey LaJoie. Chase Briscoe slammed into the wall with Hamlin, which brought out the red flag. On the restart, Josh Berry hit the wall with Elliott and Carson Hocevar. Coming to the finish line, Daniel Suárez edged Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch in a three-wide finish for the fourth closest finish in NASCAR history and for his second career win. [144]
Joey Logano started on the pole. Christopher Bell and Chris Buescher both hit the wall after a flat tire, with Buescher exiting the race due to the wheel coming off his car. Kyle Larson dominated the race by leading the most laps. Larson also won both stages and secured the victory by holding off a charging Tyler Reddick. [145]
Denny Hamlin won the pole. Austin Cindric sustained heavy damage after contact with Austin Dillon. Tyler Reddick won the first stage, while Christopher Bell won the second stage. Kyle Busch and Hamlin both spun in separate incidents. Joey Logano spun after contact with John Hunter Nemechek and collected Corey LaJoie and Derek Kraus. Martin Truex Jr. attempted pit strategy by pitting early in anticipation of a fuel mileage race, but the leaders had enough fuel to finish, and Bell held off Chris Buescher for the win. [146]
Ryan Blaney won the pole. The race was plagued by extreme tire wear. Ty Gibbs dominated the first half of the race and won both stages. The race saw 54 lead changes, the most for a short-track race in Cup Series history. Kyle Busch spun twice with a flat tire. Gibbs was heading to the win until the lapped car of Todd Gilliland slowed down and caused Gibbs and teammate Christopher Bell to lose multiple spots. Denny Hamlin dominated the second half of the race and led the most laps. Hamlin and teammate Martin Truex Jr. stayed out front after the final round of green-flag pit stops and saved their tires. Hamlin was able to hold off Truex for the win, followed by Brad Keselowski, Alex Bowman, and Kyle Larson, marking the first time since the 2004 MBNA America 400 at Dover that a race ended with 5 or fewer cars on the lead lap. [147]
William Byron won the pole. On lap 1, at the exit of turn 11, Corey LaJoie made contact with Bubba Wallace and Martin Truex Jr. Christopher Bell won Stage 1. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Kamui Kobayashi, in his 2nd career Cup Series start, spun after Stenhouse ran into him, causing Stenhouse to spin as he tried to drive away. Denny Hamlin won Stage 2. In the final stage, Bell made a bold move into turn 1, spinning Kyle Busch. Towards the end of the race, it seemed to be a battle between Byron, Alex Bowman, and Ty Gibbs. However, Bell, with fresher tires, charged through the field but ultimately fell one lap short, allowing Byron to secure the victory. Busch was very upset by this and confronted Bell after the race, during which Bell remained quiet as Busch expressed his frustration.
Kyle Larson won the pole after qualifying. Denny Hamlin won the first stage and Martin Truex Jr. won the second stage. Hamlin would hold on and win.
Kyle Larson won the pole. Larson won the first stage while Denny Hamlin won the second stage. William Byron came out on the final lap for the win.
Kyle Larson won the pole. Larson cleared the first stage and Ross Chastain won the second stage. Larson led most of the laps with 77. In the end, Chase Elliott took the lead and pulled away to win his first race of the season.
Michael McDowell started on pole for the second time in his career. Austin Cindric narrowly beat Chase Elliott by inches to win Stage 1, while Joey Logano won Stage 2. The race was incident-free until lap 132 when Christopher Bell crashed out on the backstretch, collecting Justin Haley, Chase Briscoe, and Zane Smith. On lap 151, the Toyota drivers were drafting alone as part of a pit strategy when Erik Jones lost control and hit the outside wall head-on in turn 3, collecting Bubba Wallace, John Hunter Nemechek, and Denny Hamlin, which claimed four of the six Toyotas in the draft. McDowell held onto the lead in the closing laps of the race until the last lap when Brad Keselowski attempted a crossover move from second. McDowell got loose while blocking and wrecked on the tri-oval, triggering "The Big One", which caused Corey LaJoie to flip upside-down. Tyler Reddick evaded the wreck and passed Keselowski to score his first win of the season and his first at a superspeedway.
Kyle Busch won the pole. Martin Truex Jr. won the first stage and Kyle Larson won the second stage. In the end, Denny Hamlin would comeback and go on to win his 3rd race of the season.
Christopher Bell won the pole. An hour before the race, they entered a light rain delay, which resulted in a 4 hour rain delay that ended at 6:25 PM EST. Denny Hamlin won the first stage and Chris Buescher won the second stage. After Kyle Busch spun on lap 261, the fuel and tire management battles were reset and the field lined up for a restart with two laps to go. Buescher and Hamlin restarted on the front row, but Kyle Larson jumped into second with a move to the apron going into turn 1. Buescher and Larson drove away from the remainder of the field by the white flag. Larson stuck his car against the outside wall to Buescher's right in turns three and four and the two raced two wheel to wheel by the wall through the corner. They came down the track and made contact coming to the line as Chase Elliott and Martin Truex, Jr. closed in. Larson edged out Buescher by 0.001 seconds, and it became the closest finish in NASCAR Cup Series history.
Tyler Reddick won the pole. Kyle Larson won the first stage while Reddick won the second stage. John Hunter Nemechek spun after two flat tires. On a restart, Ryan Blaney got into the wall after William Byron made contact with Martin Truex Jr. Late in the race, Reddick and Brad Keselowski made contact battling for the lead allowing Chris Buescher to make a three-wide pass for the lead. With 10 laps to go, Buescher and Reddick made contact battling for the lead causing both flat tires on both cars taking both to pit road as Keselowski retook the lead and held off Ty Gibbs and Josh Berry for the win, his first win as an owner/driver (the first since Tony Stewart in 2016), the first win of 2024 for Ford, and snapped a 110-race winless streak, the longest drought of his career. [148]
In The Open, Ty Gibbs started on pole for the 2nd straight time. In the end, Gibbs led all 100 laps and won the Open and advanced to the All-Star Race with Noah Gragson, who won the fan vote.
In the All-Star Race, Joey Logano started on pole. Logano dominated by leading all but one lap and held off Denny Hamlin to win the $1 million for his first All-Star Race win.
Ty Gibbs won the pole. William Byron took the first stage and Christopher Bell won the second stage. The race was called with 249 laps complete. NASCAR tried to dry the track for over an hour but was not making enough progress to get the race restarted at a reasonable hour. [149] Bell ended up winning the race.
