The Ocean Speedway date will run in place of Marysville Raceway, with the series now competing both Friday and Saturday nights during the 64th Johnny Key Classic weekend. Winged 360 Sprint Cars will headline both nights of competition.

With the adjustments, the 2024 slate is now a 19-race campaign in 2024. Ventura Raceway opens the season on March 16.
