# 2024 Love's RV Stop 225

The 2024 Love's RV Stop 225 was the 20th stock car race of the 2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, the first race of the Round of 8, and the 19th iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, October 4, 2024, at Talladega Superspeedway in Lincoln, Alabama, a 2.66 miles (4.28 km) permanent tri-oval shaped superspeedway. The race took the scheduled 85 laps to complete. In a wild finish, Grant Enfinger, driving for CR7 Motorsports, would hold off a hard-charging field in the final nine laps, and eventually won the race after the caution came out on the frontstretch with one lap to go. This was Enfinger's 11th career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, his first of the season, and the first win for CR7 Motorsports as an organization. Enfinger also dominated the majority of the race, leading a race-high 34 laps. Along with the win, he would claim a spot in the Championship 4. To fill out the podium, Taylor Gray, driving for Tricon Garage, and Daniel Dye, driving for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

## Report
### Background

Talladega Superspeedway, originally known as Alabama International Motor Superspeedway (AIMS), is a motorsports complex located north of Talladega, Alabama. It is located on the former Anniston Air Force Base in the small city of Lincoln. The track is a tri-oval and was constructed in the 1960s by the International Speedway Corporation, a business controlled by the France family. Talladega is most known for its steep banking and the unique location of the start/finish line that's located just past the exit to pit road. The track currently hosts the NASCAR series such as the NASCAR Cup Series, Xfinity Series and the Craftsman Truck Series. Talladega is the longest NASCAR oval with a length of 2.66-mile-long (4.28 km) tri-oval like the Daytona International Speedway, which also is a 2.5-mile-long (4 km) tri-oval.
