Christian Eckes, the driver of the No. 19 Chevy Silverado RST, followed a Toyota across the stripe at Gateway on June 1st, 2024, 1.854 seconds back. While that’s certainly not a bad result, Eckes felt like he could have done more and put his NASCAR Chevy in Victory Lane instead.
During the Stage 2 break, Eckes had a slow pit stop, relegating him to an 11th-place restart position. He was able to muscle his way back up to second place by the end of the race, though, his third consecutive runner-up result at Gateway.
“I definitely feel like we let that one slip,” Eckes said. “Disappointing, for sure… It sucks. I thought we had the best truck here.”
Nick Sanchez finished third in the No. 2 NASCAR Chevy Silverado, followed by Ty Majeski’s No. 98 Ford F-150 and Layne Riggs’ No. 38 F-150, rounding out the top five, respectively.
Note that the start of the Truck race was delayed for 2.5 hours due to rain. The final Triple Truck Challenge race is scheduled for June 28th, 2024 at Nashville Superspeedway. Heim and Sanchez, last week’s Charlotte winner, could collect an additional $100,000 as the winners of two of three events in “The Trip.” A $50,000 bonus is available to all other drivers.
