# 2024 Pennzoil 250

The 2024 Pennzoil 250 was the 20th stock car race of the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 13th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, July 20, 2024, at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana, a 2.5 miles (4.0 km) permanent square-shaped racetrack. Contested over 100 laps, the race ended in a 3-car battle for the win, with Stewart-Haas Racing driver Riley Herbst claiming just his second career win, and his first of the season. It was Stewart-Haas Racing's 100th win across NASCAR's top 3 series. Teammate Cole Custer finished second, and Joe Gibbs Racing’s Aric Almirola finished third. Shane Van Gisbergen and Sheldon Creed rounded out the top five, and Austin Hill, Daniel Dye, A. J. Allmendinger, Justin Allgaier, and Carson Kvapil rounded out the top ten.
This race was followed by a three-week long break for the 2024 Summer Olympics which aired on NBC and USA.

## Report

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, located in Speedway, Indiana, (an enclave suburb of Indianapolis) in the United States, is the home of the Indianapolis 500 and the Brickyard 400. It is located on the corner of 16th Street and Georgetown Road, approximately six miles (10 km) west of Downtown Indianapolis.
Constructed in 1909, it is the original speedway, the first racing facility so named. It has a permanent seating capacity estimated at 235,000 with infield seating raising capacity to an approximate 400,000. It is the highest-capacity sports venue in the world.
Considered relatively flat by American standards, the track is a 2.5-mile (4.0 km), nearly rectangular oval with dimensions that have remained essentially unchanged since its inception: four 0.25-mile (0.40 km) turns, two 0.625-mile long (1.006 km) straightaways between the fourth and first turns and the second and third turns, and two .125-mile (0.201 km) short straightaways – termed "short chutes" – between the first and second, and third and fourth turns.
