# 2024 Zip Buy Now, Pay Later 200

The 2024 Zip Buy Now, Pay Later 200 was the 22nd stock car race of the 2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, the sixth race of the Playoffs, the final race of the Round of 8, and the second iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, November 1, 2024, at Martinsville Speedway in Ridgeway, Virginia, a 0.526 mi (0.847 km) permanent paper-clip shaped racetrack. The race took the scheduled 200 laps to complete. In a controversial ending, Christian Eckes, driving for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, would make an aggressive move on Taylor Gray and Ben Rhodes in the final five laps, and held off the rest of the field to earn his ninth career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his fourth of the season. Following the race, Gray confronted Eckes on the frontstretch, showing his displeasure with the final result. Eckes was the class of the field, winning the pole, both stages, and leading a race-high 187 laps. With his win, he would also clinch a spot in the Championship 4. To fill out the podium, Rhodes, driving for ThorSport Racing, and Chase Purdy, driving for Spire Motorsports, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
Following the race, Nick Sanchez, Gray, Rajah Caruth, and Tyler Ankrum were eliminated from playoff contention. Grant Enfinger, Eckes, Ty Majeski, and Corey Heim would advance into the Championship 4.
