[autotag]McAnally-Hilgemann Racing[/autotag] announced on Wednesday morning that [autotag]Christian Eckes[/autotag] will return to the No. 19 truck for the 2024 NASCAR Truck Series season. Eckes has experienced a breakthrough season with three victories and currently sits in a position to make the Championship 4 with the Round of 8 finale this weekend.
The driver of the No. 19 truck will have a new teammate as Daniel Dye comes to McAnally-Hilgemann Racing while Jake Garcia will pursue a new opportunity in 2024. Eckes will also have crew chief Charles Denike return as the partnership continues to gain chemistry. The No. 19 truck will continue to be sponsored by NAPA Auto Parts.
Let's run it back, @christianeckes!

Overall, this is a great move for both Eckes and McAnally-Hilgemann Racing as the two pursue their first Truck Series championship. Due to Eckes’ success, he likely won’t be in the Truck Series for the long-term future but another opportunity to build on the 2023 NASCAR season is one that both sides couldn’t refuse.
