The 2024 SpeedyCash.com 250 was the 7th stock car race of the 2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and the 26th iteration of the event.

The race took the scheduled 167 laps to complete. Kyle Busch, driving for Spire Motorsports, would take advantage of the lead on the final restart, and held off a fast charge from Corey Heim in the final few laps to earn his 66th career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his second of the season.

With his win, he ties Todd Bodine for the most Truck Series wins at Texas Motor Speedway with six.[9] To fill out the podium, Nick Sanchez, driving for Rev Racing, would finish 3rd, respectively.

Qualifying
Qualifying was held on Friday, April 12, at 3:35 PM CST.[10] Since Texas Motor Speedway is an intermediate speedway, the qualifying system used is a single-car, one-lap system with only one round. Drivers will be on track by themselves and will have one lap to post a qualifying time. Whoever sets the fastest time in that round will win the pole.[12]
Nick Sanchez, driving for Rev Racing, would score the pole for the race, with a lap of 29.219, and a speed of 184.811 mph (297.424 km/h).[13]
