2024 General Tire 200 (Sonoma)

The 2024 General Tire 200 was the 4th stock car race of the 2024 ARCA Menards Series West season, and the 18th running of the event. The race was held on Friday, June 7, 2024, at Sonoma Raceway in Sonoma, California, a 1.99 mile (3.20 km) permanent asphalt road course. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 64 laps, but was increased to 67 laps, due to a NASCAR overtime finish. Sam Mayer, driving for Sigma Performance Services, would take the lead from William Sawalich in the middle stages of the race, and led the final 37 laps to earn his second career ARCA Menards Series West win, and his first of the season. Sawalich led 21 laps, but fell back after an early race incident. He rebounded to finish in 4th. To fill out the podium, Tyler Reif, driving for Central Coast Racing, and Sean Hingorani, driving for Jerry Pitts Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
