2024 General Tire 150 (Phoenix)

The 2024 General Tire 150 was the second stock car race of the 2024 ARCA Menards Series season, the first race of the 2024 ARCA Menards Series West season, and the 5th running of the event. The race was held on Friday, March 8, 2024, at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona, a 1-mile (1.6 km) permanent asphalt tri-oval shaped speedway. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 150 laps, but was decreased to 115 laps due to lightning and rain in the area. William Sawalich, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, would dominate the majority of the race, winning the pole and leading a race-high 66 laps to earn his fifth career ARCA Menards Series win, his second career ARCA Menards Series West win, and his first of the season. Sawalich's closest competition was Gio Ruggiero, who led 49 laps in the race before finishing in 2nd. To fill out the podium, Ruggiero, driving for Venturini Motorsports, and Grant Enfinger, driving for Sigma Performance Services, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
