Limited schedule
[edit]Notes
[edit]- ^ Entries were fielded in a collaboration with Naake-Klauer Motorsports.
- ^ a b c d Hingorani has run the full season split between four different cars: the Hattori Racing Enterprises No. 61, Sigma Performance Services No. 24, Jerry Pitts Racing No. 5 and Venturini Motorsports No. 15.
Schedule
[edit]The full schedule was announced on December 6, 2023.[41] Some race dates were announced before then as part of the announcement of the main ARCA Series schedule on November 28.[42]
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.[43]
- 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.)[44]
- The race at Madera Speedway moves from September 21st to 28th[45]
- 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.[46]
Results and standings
[edit]Race results
[edit]Drivers' championship
[edit]Notes:
- The pole winner also receives 1 bonus point, similar to the previous ARCA points system used until 2019 and unlike NASCAR.[48]
- Additionally, after groups of 5 races of the season, drivers that compete in all 5 races receive 50 additional points.[48] These points bonuses will be given after the races at Irwindale (race #1) and Roseville.
- Tyler Reif, Sean Hingorani, Trevor Huddleston, Jack Wood, Kyle Keller, Eric Johnson Jr., Takuma Koga, Nick Joanides, Todd Souza, Robbie Kennealy, David Smith, and Bobby Hillis Jr. received this points bonus for having competed in the first 5 races of the season (Phoenix in March, Kern County in April, Portland, Sonoma, and the Thursday race at Irwindale). Hingorani, Reif, Huddleston, Wood, Keller, Johnson Jr., Koga, and Smith received this points bonus for having competed in the next 5 races (the Saturday race at Irwindale, Shasta, Tri-City, Madera, 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.
