The 2024 North Carolina Education Lottery 200 was the 11th stock car race of the 2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and the 22nd iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, May 24, 2024, in Concord, North Carolina at Charlotte Motor Speedway, a 1.5 miles (2.4 km) permanent asphalt tri-oval shaped intermediate speedway. The race took the scheduled 134 laps to complete. In an action-packed race, Nick Sanchez, driving for Rev Racing, would steal the win from a dominating Corey Heim, holding him off in the final stages of the race to earn his second career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his second of the season.[9] Heim had dominated the majority of the race, who originally won both stages and lead a race-high 72 laps.[10] To fill out the podium, Stewart Friesen, driving for Halmar Friesen Racing, and Grant Enfinger, driving for CR7 Motorsports, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively. Heim had originally finished in 2nd, but was disqualified following post-race inspection due to having three unsecured lug nuts. Heim was credited with a last place finish, and forfeited his stage wins, giving them to Kaden Honeycutt and Tanner Gray.[11]

Qualifying was held on Friday, May 24, at 2:05 PM EST.[12] Since Charlotte Motor Speedway is an intermediate speedway, the qualifying system used is a single-car, one-lap system with only one round. Drivers will be on track by themselves and will have one lap to post a qualifying time. Whoever sets the fastest time in that round will win the pole.[14]
Tanner Gray, driving for Tricon Garage, would score the pole for the race, with a lap of 30.296, and a speed of 178.241 mph (286.851 km/h).[15]
