# 2024 SciAps 200

The 2024 SciAps 200 was the 16th stock car race of the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 30th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, June 22, 2024, at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire, a 1.058 miles (1.703 km) permanent asphalt oval shaped racetrack. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 200 laps, but was increased to 203 laps due to a NASCAR overtime finish. In a wild finish, Christopher Bell, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, would take the lead from the dominating Cole Custer on the final restart, and held off his teammate Sheldon Creed on the final lap to earn his 18th career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, and his first of the season. Custer had put on a dominating performance, leading a race-high 114 laps before falling back to third on the final lap.

## Starting lineup

Practice and qualifying were both scheduled to be held on Friday, June 21, at 4:05 PM and 4:35 PM EST. Since New Hampshire Motor Speedway is a mile oval, the qualifying system used is a single-car, one-lap based system. Drivers will be on track by themselves and will have one lap to post a qualifying time, and whoever sets the fastest time in that session will win the pole.
Practice and qualifying were both cancelled due to inclement weather. The starting lineup would be determined per the NASCAR rulebook. As a result, Cole Custer, driving for Stewart–Haas Racing, would start on the pole.
Jade Buford was the only driver who failed to qualify.
