While Ford finally broke its 2024 winless streak at Darlington on May 12th, 2024, the NASCAR Chevy teams had a much different view of the race. In fact, only two Chevy Camaro ZL1 race cars finished inside the top 10, all said and done.
The No. 24 Camaro of William Byron led The Bow Tie teams across the line, finishing sixth. The next-best Chevy driver was Alex Bowman, who brought the No. 48 Camaro home in eighth. Beyond that, Ross Chastain salvaged an 11th-place result after slapping the wall early on and damaging his No. 1 Camaro in the incident.
Kyle Larson, driver of the No. 5 NASCAR Chevy, certainly had a tough day at Darlington. After hitting the wall early in the race, much like Chastain, he ultimately spun out and backed into the wall again, critically damaging his race car and forcing him to retire from the race. He was credited with a 34th-place finish. However, Larson still holds the point lead, 30 points ahead of Martin Truex Jr., driver of the No. 19 Toyota TRD Camry.
Meanwhile, Brad Keselowski’s No. 6 Ford Mustang Dark Horse won, followed by the No. 54 Camry of Ty Gibbs and the No. 4 Mustang of Josh Berry in second and third, respectively.
