The 2024 Andy's Frozen Custard 300 was the 8th stock car race of the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 20th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, April 13, 2024, at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas, a 1.5 miles (2.4 km) permanent asphalt quad-oval shaped intermediate speedway. The race took the scheduled 200 laps to complete. In one of the closest finishes in Xfinity Series history, Sam Mayer, driving for JR Motorsports, would make a last-lap pass for the lead on Ryan Sieg, and held him off in a wild photo finish to earn his fifth career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, and his first of the season. The margin of victory was 0.002 seconds, tying it for the second closest finish in Xfinity Series history, alongside Milwaukee 1996 and Talladega 1999. [9] [10] Sieg led 17 of the final 18 laps in the race, before being passed by Mayer on the final lap. [11] Justin Allgaier was most consistent driver of the race, winning both stages and leading a race-high 117 laps, but ultimately fell back and rounded out the podium by finishing 3rd. [12]

This was also the second race of the Dash 4 Cash. Drivers who were eligible for the Dash 4 Cash are Sam Mayer, Chandler Smith, Justin Allgaier, and Sheldon Creed, since they were the highest finishing Xfinity Series regulars following the race at Martinsville. [13] Mayer would claim the $100K bonus cash after narrowly winning the race. [14]

Final laps

The race restarted on lap 190 after an incident involving Sheldon Creed, Kyle Weatherman, and Hailie Deegan. Riley Herbst blew a tire after contact with Brandon Jones on lap 191, but did not produce a caution. Ryan Sieg took over the lead on the restart, and continued to pull away by about one second. Sieg's car began getting tight, allowing Sam Mayer to close the gap. On the final lap, Mayer made a move to the inside of Sieg for the lead. Coming into turn 3, Mayer drifted up the racetrack and allowed Sieg to his inside. The two drivers banged doors all the way to the start/finish line, with Mayer beating out Sieg by 0.002 seconds, tied with '96 Milwaukee and '99 Talladega as the 2nd closest finish in Xfinity Series history. [9] [10] Justin Allgaier, after leading 117 laps, finished in third, with A. J. Allmendinger and Cole Custer rounding out the top five. Austin Hill, Ryan Truex, Sammy Smith, Jesse Love, and Anthony Alfredo would complete the rest of the top ten.
