2024 ARCA Menards Series East

The 2024 ARCA Menards Series East is the 38th season of the ARCA Menards Series East, a regional stock car racing series sanctioned by NASCAR in the United States. The season began on March 23 with the Pensacola 150 at Five Flags Speedway and will end on September 19 with the Bush's Beans 200 at Bristol Motor Speedway.

William Sawalich of Joe Gibbs Racing entered the season as the defending 2023 ARCA Menards Series East champion.

Schedule
The full schedule was announced on December 6, 2023. Some race dates were announced before then as part of the announcement of the main ARCA Series schedule on November 28.

Note: Races highlighted in gold are combination events with the ARCA Menards Series.

Schedule changes
Although the schedule remains at eight races at the exact same tracks in the exact same order as in 2023, there are some minor changes to some races.
 * The race at Five Flags Speedway is shortened from 200 miles to 150 miles.
 * The race at Dover Motor Speedway becomes a combination race with the main ARCA Series after previously being a standalone race for the East Series.
 * The race at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway is shortened from 200 laps to 150 laps.
 * The combination race at Iowa Speedway was moved from July to June in order for it to be on the same weekend as the track's new Cup Series race and its returning Xfinity Series race.
 * The combination race at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park moves from August to July along with the track's Truck Series race and the Cup and Xfinity Series races at the nearby Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Drivers' championship
Notes:
 * The pole winner also receives 1 bonus point, similar to the previous ARCA points system used until 2019 and unlike NASCAR.
 * Additionally, after groups of 5 races of the season, drivers that compete in all 5 races receive 50 additional points. This points bonus will be given after the race at Iowa.
 * Connor Zilisch, William Sawalich, Gio Ruggiero, Zachary Tinkle, D. L. Wilson, Cody Dennison, Michael Maples, and Rita Goulet received this points bonus for having competed in the first 5 races of the season (Five Flags, Dover, Nashville Fairgrounds, Flat Rock, and Iowa).
