The 2024 Zinsser SmartCoat 150 was the 8th stock car race of the 2024 ARCA Menards Series season, and the 4th iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, June 21, 2024, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio, a 2.258-mile (3.634 km) permanent road course. The race took the scheduled 42 laps to complete. In an action-packed race with late controversy, William Sawalich, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, would hold off a challenging Brent Crews on the final lap to earn his sixth career ARCA Menards Series win, and his second of the season.[5] Crews dominated the majority of the race, who started 3rd and led a race-high 25 laps, before making contact with Connor Mosack on the final restart and finishing 2nd. To fill out the podium, Gio Ruggiero, driving for Venturini Motorsports, would finish in 3rd, respectively.
On the final restart with four laps to go, Connor Mosack, who was in 2nd, was penalized by ARCA for jumping the start, and was ordered to serve a 30-second penalty on pit road. Mosack elected to stay on the racetrack, crossing the line in first but was later black flagged, giving the win to 2nd-place driver, William Sawalich.[6]
