Stage 2 Finish: 4th
Finish: 4th
Christian Eckes qualified third for the United Rentals 250, his best qualifying effort of the season. He battled in the top five for the majority of the opening stage, ultimately playing it safe and finishing 16th. Following a late caution in Stage 2, Eckes pitted before restarting 14th with two laps remaining. He drove up to fourth where he finished Stage 2. Eckes topped off with fuel during the second stage break, before starting the final stage on the first row, outside teammate, Daniel Dye. As the field went into overtime following a late-race wreck, Eckes was second coming through the tri-oval on the final lap, ultimately crossing the line fourth in a thrilling finish.

“Our No. 16 Morris-Shea Chevy was really good all day. I thought we had a shot at it there at the end, but it just didn’t pan out for us. I hate it for our team, but we can’t be too mad at fourth place.”

No. 10 Champion Container Chevrolet

Start: 15th
Stage 1 Finish: 11th
Stage 2 Finish: 9th
Finish: 25th
Daniel Dye qualified 15th for the United Rentals 250. Fighting a slightly free-handling No. 10 Champion Container Chevrolet throughout the opening stage, Dye finished 11th. Following a late caution in Stage 2, Dye pitted for four tires and fuel, before restarting 15th behind teammate, Christian Eckes. He went on to finish ninth and stayed out during the second stage break, taking over the lead to start the final stage. Dye worked with his teammate throughout the final stage, until an overtime-inducing wreck collected Dye, ending his night early. He was scored 25th.

“Our No. 10 Champion Container Chevy was fast, and I felt like we did a good job all day executing as a team. It felt good to lead a couple laps coming to the final stage. Unfortunately, once everything got crazy there at the end, it didn’t shake out for us.”

No. 11 Action Industries Chevrolet

Start: 12th
Stage 1 Finish: 36th
Stage 2 Finish: 36th
Finish: 36th
Brenden Queen qualified 12th for the United Rentals 250. Queen was an innocent bystander in a lap-14 crash that ended his race early. He was relegated to a 36th-place finish.

“Not how we hoped our race would end. It seemed like I was in the middle of three wide for most of the first stage there. I felt like we were doing a good job maintaining, and the next thing I know we had nowhere to go and were running into the No. 00 when he was in the wall. The last thing I want to do is wreck the racecar, so it’s tough, but I’m super proud of this Kaulig Racing group and the speed we had in our No. 11 Action Industries Chevy.”
