The 2024 Wright Brand 250 was the 10th stock car race of the 2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and the 2nd iteration of the event. The race was originally scheduled to be held on Saturday, May 18, 2024, but after the first stage, the race would be postponed until Sunday, May 19, due to severe rain and flooding in the area.[9][10] The race will be held in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina at North Wilkesboro Speedway, a 0.625 miles (1.006 km) permanent asphalt oval shaped short track. The race took the scheduled 250 laps to complete. Corey Heim, driving for Tricon Garage, would put on a dominating performance in the final stages of the race, leading a race-high 66 laps and cruising to victory for his eight career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his third of the season.[11] Christian Eckes, who started on the pole, led 62 laps of the race before falling back and finishing sixth. To fill out the podium, Grant Enfinger, driving for CR7 Motorsports, and Layne Riggs, driving for Front Row Motorsports, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
