Happy with the handling of the No. 16 Campers Inn RV Mobile Medic Chevrolet, Christian Eckes finished seventh in the opening stage. He radioed that he needed track position more than anything, and crew chief Alex Yontz made the call for a two-tire pit stop during the stage break, ensuring Eckes gained four spots on pit road to start the second stage.

The No. 16 was unable to finish the race, and Eckes was scored 32nd.
“We had a super fast Campers Inn RV Camaro tonight. I thought it was more than capable of being a race-winning car. It’s unfortunate that it just didn’t to our way, but we have two more races to go execute and hopefully make a run for the playoffs.” – Christian Eckes
