Team owner Maury Gallagher will focus his efforts on the Cup Series team that he co-owns with Jimmie Johnson, Legacy Motor Club, starting in 2024. GMS fielded three full-time trucks in 2023: the No. 23 driven by Grant Enfinger, the No. 24 driven by Rajah Caruth, and the No. 43 driven by Daniel Dye.

Drivers Matt DiBenedetto would not return to the Rackley W.A.R. No. 25 in 2024, after being with the team full-time in 2022 and 2023. After he was eliminated from the 2023 playoffs and had already announced his plans not to return to the team in 2024, Rackley W.A.R. removed DiBenedetto from the No. 25 early. Hailie Deegan would move to the Xfinity Series full-time in 2024 driving for AM Racing. Colby Howard would not return to the CR7 Motorsports No. 9 truck in 2024.

On December 29, 2023, Rackley W.A.R. announced that crew chief Chad Kendrick would not return to the team in 2024, with Ty Dillon, who will drive for the team in 2024, indicating that Kendrick is looking to step up into the Xfinity Series.
Interim crew chiefs On April 16, 2024, Chris Carrier, crew chief of the Henderson Motorsports No. 75 truck driven by Stefan Parsons, was suspended for the Heart of America 200 at Kansas Speedway and fined 5,000 when post-race inspection after the 2024 SpeedyCash.com 250 at Texas Motor Speedway revealed improperly installed lug nuts.
