The 2024 Ambetter Health 302 was the 30th stock car race of the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series, the fourth race of the Playoffs, the first race of the Round of 8, and the 7th iteration of the event. The race was held on October 19, 2024, at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, Nevada, a 1.5 miles (2.4 km) permanent quad-oval shaped intermediate speedway. The race took the scheduled 201 laps to complete. A. J. Allmendinger, driving for Kaulig Racing, would hold off Ryan Sieg in a fierce battle for the win, and after the caution came out with six to go, he took advantage of the restart and cruised to victory for his 18th career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, and his first of the season. Allmendinger was also the class of the field, leading a race-high 102 laps. With his win, he would also clinch a spot in the Championship 4. [9] To fill out the podium, Justin Allgaier, driving for JR Motorsports, would finish in 3rd, respectively.
