Nineteen-year-old Christian Eckes raced like a Truck Series veteran at Texas Motor Speedway. Sure, he had plenty of chances to push the envelope when his No. 18 Toyota had the preferred line in various points of the Gen-Y Hitch 100. Instead, Eckes was patient, smooth, and efficient. The Middletown, NY native channeled some positive energy from his rough start to the 2020 NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series season by leaping to the lead on Lap 96. Certainly, the man that Eckes passed for the win was perhaps the one driver that competitors would not want to see in their tailgates in the final laps. Taking the lead and win from Chase Briscoe, Eckes netted $500 as he sets his sights on winning the IceBox Pickup Throwdown Series championship. Along with a potential title, Eckes may gain confidence when he and his Truck competitors make their eventual on-track return.
