Christian Eckes

McAnally Hilgermann Racing
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Eckes was very competitive and consistent in the No. 98 team last season. He would grab eight Top-5 and 15 Top-10 finishes, but somehow miss the luck or ingredients to capture a win in 2022. Eckes moves on from that team in the upcoming season and settles in with the No. 19 Chevrolet of McAnally-Hilgemann Racing. This team was fairly competitive last season with Derek Kraus behind the wheel (two pole and seven Top-10 finishes) but Eckes is undeniably an upgrade in the driver's seat. This team has lots of potential and Eckes with the help of crew chief Charles Denike should find that potential in 2023. They should be able to challenge for wins and make a drive into the truck series playoffs. Read Past Outlooks

Crew Chief Charles Denike
Runner-up Bristol Finish
Craftsman Truck Series
September 15, 2023
Eckes finished second in the UNOH 200 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
The driver of the No. 19 Chevrolet dominated the evening Thursday night at Bristol. Eckes led 150 of the 200 laps from the pole and pounded the field into the pavement. However, Corey Heim would track him down and pass him with just 5 laps to go in order to steal the victory late. It was a heat breaking ending for Eckes, but still his ninth Top 5 of the season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
Eckes shared this ride last season with Grant Enfinger. It was pretty much a 50/50 split of the schedule. The 21-year-old would earn his first-career victory and five Top-10 finishes in just 10 starts. It was a pretty successful campaign and in some ways, Eckes out-shined Enfinger in the driver split. He'll get the No. 98 Toyota all to himself in the upcoming season. It will just be Eckes' second full season of competition in this division of NASCAR. This is a very capable team and Eckes is a proven winner (2019 ARCA Menards Series champion) so they should be a very good combination in the 2022 campaign.
Eckes is a free agent driver in 2021.
The 19-year-old Eckes will be taking on his first full season of truck series competition this year, and he will be one of the top contenders to win Rookie of the Year honors. After two seasons of part-time racing for Kyle Busch Motorsports, Eckes will get his first full season ride in the No. 18 KBM Toyota Tundra. The youngster grabbed three poles, three Top-5 and four Top-10 finishes in limited action last season (eight starts), and he's poised to do much more in 2020. Veteran crew chief Rudy Fugle will lead the way and Eckes will be expected to do some big things. The 2019 ARCA Series champion has loads of talent, and this spot in the rankings is really the floor as far as potential to perform this season.
