Calendar changes

 * Raceway Venray returns to the schedule after a four-year absence. The 1/2-mile oval is set to host the fourth round of the season on 29-30 June. It was originally announced to be a doubleheader race, but a schedule update in February 2024 revealed that the round will only consist of one race per class similar to the 2019 event.
 * NASCAR GP Italy and NASCAR GP UK swapped dates, with the round at Vallelunga now hosting the second round instead of the third.
 * EuroNASCAR's Playoffs will be expanded into a two-round format for the first time since 2019. The rounds at Oschersleben and Zolder will host the series' double-points paying rounds. Despite this, the driver's championship retains the system used in the previous three seasons where only the best 8 results from the first 10 races will count towards the final standings alongside all results from the double-points races.

Rule changes

 * On 31 January 2024, NASCAR Whelen Euro Series announced that the current generation of cars will be receiving a 2024 Evo package that will be put into use starting from the season opening round at Valencia.

 * A new three-point caliper brackets will be introduced to provide a stronger fitting for the brakes.
 * A new rear spring package is added to improve acceleration and traction on cornering.
 * A rally-inspired roof scoop made out of carbon fiber and a set of hood louvers will be introduced to improve cooling for both driver and the car. These changes were made to address concerns from series competitors after they encountered problems with excess heat being maintained inside the car during the 2023 NASCAR GP Italy at Vallelunga, which was highly affected by high summer temperatures in Italy.
 * A speed limiter system will be added to better control speeds on pit lane and during Full Course Yellow situations.
 * The Ford Mustang body style will receive a facelift to better match the seventh-generation Ford Mustang Dark Horse model that is currently in production.
 * On 11 April 2024, NASCAR Whelen Euro Series announced the following changes to the sporting regulations:
 * Race control now has the option to increase the race length by the number of laps completed under caution. A time limit will also be introduced, with EuroNASCAR PRO races being capped to 45 minutes + 1 lap while EuroNASCAR 2 races are capped to 40 minutes + 1 lap.
 * The Teams Championship is rebranded as the Endurance Teams Championship and will now classify teams based on aggregate results. Results in lap count and race time from each entry in all four races will be added and points will be awarded based on teams that completed the most total laps with the least time possible.
 * Teams are now guaranteed to do one warm-up lap, two flying laps and one cooldown lap in Superpole. As a result, the session length will now be adjusted based on how quick the participants completed the prerequisite laps.

Standings
Points are awarded to drivers and team using the current point system used in NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. The driver that gained the most positions in a race will receive 4 bonus championship points. In addition, double points are awarded for the Playoff races.

For the EuroNASCAR PRO and EuroNASCAR 2 driver's championship, only the best 8 results from the first 9 races and the results from the Playoffs at Oschersleben and Zolder will count towards the final standings. For the Club Challenge championships, points are awarded per session and the results listed from each round in the standings are the combined results.
