The 2024 Bush's Beans 200 was the 18th stock car race of the 2024 ARCA Menards Series season, the 8th and final race of the 2024 ARCA Menards Series East season, and the 5th iteration of the event. The race was held on Thursday, September 19, 2024, at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee, a 0.553 mile (0.858 km) permanent oval shaped racetrack. The race took the scheduled 200 laps to complete. In a caution-filled race, William Sawalich, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, would hold off a hard charging battle between Landen Lewis throughout the entire race, and took over the lead on the final restart with two to go, earning his 12th career ARCA Menards Series win, his 7th career ARCA Menards Series East win, and his 9th win of the season. To fill out the podium, Lewis, driving for CR7 Motorsports, and Lavar Scott, driving for Rev Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
In addition to winning, Sawalich would claim the 2024 ARCA Menards Series East championship, 12 points ahead of Connor Zilisch, who was involved in an early race incident, ending his contention of winning. This was Sawalich's second championship after winning it the year before, and the fourth consecutive championship for the 18 car.[4]
