The 2024 Buckle Up South Carolina 200 was the 9th stock car race of the 2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and the 5th iteration of the event. The majority of the race was held on Friday, May 10, 2024, and would end shortly after midnight on Saturday, May 11, due to constant rain showers that delayed the start. The race was held in Darlington, South Carolina at Darlington Raceway, a 1.366 miles (2.198 km) permanent asphalt egg-shaped speedway. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 147 laps, but was increased to 150 laps due to a NASCAR overtime finish. In a wild and action packed race, Ross Chastain, driving for Niece Motorsports, would steal the win after taking the lead on the final restart, and held off a fast charging field to earn his fifth career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his first of the season.[9] Corey Heim, who started second, was the most dominant driver of the race, winning both stages and leading a race-high 77 laps, but finished 28th after being involved in a late race incident.[10] To fill out the podium, Nick Sanchez, driving for Rev Racing, and Ben Rhodes, driving for ThorSport Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
