The 2024 Long John Silver's 200 was the 6th stock car race of the 2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and the 26th iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, April 5, 2024, at Martinsville Speedway in Ridgeway, Virginia, a 0.526 miles (0.847 km) permanent asphalt paperclip-shaped short track. The race took the scheduled 200 laps to complete. In an action packed race that produced numerous spins and wrecks, Christian Eckes, driving for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, would put on a blistering performance, winning both stages and leading a race-high 133 laps to earn his seventh career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his second of the season.[9] Pole sitter Ty Majeski led 66 laps of the race, and was in contention of stealing the win on the final restart, but was unable to hold off Eckes and finished 2nd. To fill out the podium, Chase Purdy, driving for Spire Motorsports, would finish 3rd, respectively.
