The race is known for the start of CEO of Camping World Marcus Lemonis' challenge of sponsorship. The challenge would be that Marcus and Camping World would sponsor any unsponsored car, and give them a guaranteed $15,000. However, if the team got a Top 10, it would turn into $25,000, a Top 5 would earn $35,000, and a win would earn them $50,000. 10 teams would take up the sponsorship: The #2 of Sheldon Creed, The #3 of Jordan Anderson, the #6 of Norm Benning, the #9 of Grant Enfinger, the #24 of Raphaël Lessard, the #33 of Jesse Iwuji, the #34 of B. J. McLeod, the #41 of Dawson Cram, the #56 of Tyler Hill, and the #75 of Parker Kligerman. Only two would not get the minimum $15,000; Parker Kligerman who finished 8th, and Grant Enfinger who finished 7th, both earning $25,000.[2][3]
