The 2024 Circle City 200 was the 10th stock car race of the 2024 ARCA Menards Series season, the 6th race of the 2024 ARCA Menards Series East season, and the 16th iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, July 19, 2024, at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park in Brownsburg, Indiana, a 0.686 mile (1.104 km) permanent oval shaped racetrack. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 200 laps, but was extended to 202 laps due to an overtime finish. Connor Zilisch, driving for Pinnacle Racing Group, would continue to be unstoppable in the ARCA Series, holding off the field on an overtime restart to earn his third career ARCA Menards Series win, his fourth career ARCA Menards Series East win, and his third consecutive East Series win. Zilisch also dominated the race in fashion, taking the lead late from pole-sitter William Sawalich and ended up leading a race-high 89 laps.[5] To fill out the podium, Andrés Pérez de Lara, driving for Rev Racing, and Sawalich, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
