Christian Eckes clinches Truck Series regular-season championship after Stage 1 at Richmond

At Richmond Raceway, Christian Eckes clinches the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series regular-season championship. Eckes put it away early with a stage win, and earned himself a championship and 15 bonus points for the playoffs.

This season it was a two-driver battle for the regular season title. Christian Eckes against Corey Heim. Prior to today, Eckes had just a single finish outside of the top-10, a P32 DNF at Atlanta.

Tonight, all eyes were on Eckes as he started on the pole. All it took was one strong stage and the stage win, and Eckes is a regular season champ.
