The team ran the No. 76 truck full-time in 2024, having purchased the owners points from GMS Racing's 43 truck in 2023. Boyd drove the truck, with Greg Ely serving as the crew chief.[3] Starting at Bristol, Hammond would replace Ely until Nashville, when Mark Hillman Jr. would take over as crew chief. Boyd's best finish was fifth in the team's first race, the 2024 Fresh From Florida 250. He would score his only other top ten of the season at Talladega.
