Trucks in field: 34
Pole: Ty Majeski (98)
Outside Pole: Christian Eckes (19)
Stages: 50-50-100
Weather: Mostly cloudy, 49°F, feels like 43°, Wind NW 9 mph, Gusts 18 mph

Christian Eckes (19) easily wins stage one 1.434 seconds ahead of the next truck.

MRN reports the temperature is dropping rapidly while the sustained winds increased to over 20 mph.

Christian Eckes (19) wins stage two by 1.68 seconds.

On lap 169 of 200 MRN reports Kaden Honeycutt and his crew chief have been told to report to the NASCAR hauler after the race.

Caution on lap 177 of 200 for a spin by Layne Riggs (38), possibly with assistance from Jake Garcia (13).

Restarting on lap 197 of 200 with Christian Eckes and Nick Sanchez up front.

Christian Eckes wins (19) by 0.546 over Ty Majeski (98).

MRN described an exciting event that occasionally made me wish I had access to the television broadcast to see some of what they called. Then I remembered the usual television broadcast and realized I probably still wouldn’t see the action MRN relayed.

Due to circumstances beyond my control I missed quite a bit of the race, but enjoyed what I heard.
