The 2024 Victoria's Voice Foundation 200 presented by Westgate Resorts was the 3rd stock car race of the 2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and the 16th iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, March 1, 2024, at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in North Las Vegas, Nevada, a {{Convert|1.5|mi|km}} permanent asphalt quad-oval shaped intermediate speedway. The race took the scheduled 134 laps to complete. Rajah Caruth, driving for Spire Motorsports, would take the historic win, after a successful pit road strategy which allowed him to take the lead on lap 114. With his win, he became the third African-American driver to win a NASCAR national series race, following Wendell Scott and Bubba Wallace.{{Cite web |date=March 2, 2024 |title=Rajah Caruth gets historic NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck victory at Las Vegas |url=https://www.jayski.com/2024/03/02/rajah-caruth-gets-historic-nascar-craftsman-truck-victory-at-las-vegas/ |access-date=March 2, 2024 |website=Jayski.com |publisher=Jayski's Silly Season Site}} Ty Majeski had the most consistent run of the race, who won both stages and led a race-high 40 laps, but suffered from a pit road speeding penalty on the final pair of green flag pit stops.{{Cite web |last=Albino |first=Dustin |date=March 1, 2024 |title=Wheel hop entering pit road costs Ty Majeski shot at Las Vegas win |url=https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2024/03/02/wheel-hop-entering-pit-road-costs-ty-majeski-shot-at-las-vegas-win/ |access-date=March 2, 2024 |website=NASCAR.com |publisher=NASCAR}} To fill out the podium, Tyler Ankrum, driving for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, and Corey Heim, driving for Tricon Garage, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
