The 2024 Zip Buy Now, Pay Later 250 will be the 14th stock car race of the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 2nd iteration of the event. The race is scheduled to be held on Saturday, June 8, 2024, in Sonoma, California at Sonoma Raceway, a 1.99 miles (3.20 km) permanent asphalt road course. The race is scheduled to be contested over 79 laps.
Background[edit]
Sonoma Raceway is a 1.99-mile (3.20 km) road course and drag strip located on the landform known as Sears Point in the southern Sonoma Mountains in Sonoma, California, U.S. The road course features 12 turns on a hilly course with 160 feet (49 m) of total elevation change. It is host to one of only seven NASCAR Cup Series races each year that are run on road courses. It is also host to the NTT IndyCar Series and several other auto races and motorcycle races such as the American Federation of Motorcyclists series. Sonoma Raceway continues to host amateur, or club racing events which may or may not be open to the general public. The largest such car club is the Sports Car Club of America. This would be the second race for the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Sonoma Raceway, since the inaugural iteration in 2023.

Qualifying[edit]
Qualifying was held on Saturday, June 8, at 12:30 PM PST.[5] Since Sonoma Raceway is a road course, the qualifying system is a two group system, with two rounds. Drivers will be separated into two groups, Group A and Group B. Each driver will have multiple laps to set a time. The fastest 5 drivers from each group will advance to the final round. The fastest driver to set a time in that round will win the pole.
Under a 2021 rule change, the timing line in road course qualifying is "not" the start-finish line. Instead, the timing line for qualifying will be set at the entrance of Turn 10.
Shane van Gisbergen, driving for Kaulig Racing, would set the fastest time in the session, with a lap of 74:677, and a speed of 95.933 mph (154.389 km/h).
Sage Karam was the only driver who failed to qualify.
