The 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship Race was the 33rd and final stock car race of the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series, the Championship 4 race, and the 26th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, November 9, 2024, at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona, a 1 mile (1.6 km) permanent tri-oval shaped racetrack. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 200 laps, but was increased to 213 laps due to numerous overtime restarts. In an action-packed race, Riley Herbst, driving for Stewart–Haas Racing, would make a last lap pass on Justin Allgaier for the lead to earn his third career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, his second of the season, and the final win for SHR in the Xfinity Series.[9] Herbst was also the class of the field, winning both stages and leading a race-high 167 laps. To fill out the podium, Allgaier, driving for JR Motorsports, and Aric Almirola, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
Despite mid race penalties and a second place finish, Allgaier claimed the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series championship, finishing six positions ahead of the rest of the final four drivers.[10] This is Allgaier's first championship in the series, after previously competing in the final four six different times.[11]
