Chevrolet Silverado RST led 20 laps in the opening segment enroute to a stage win and captured his first playoff point of the season. However, Eckes’ afternoon resulted in a 32nd-place finish after completing 50 circuits.

Eckes took the green flag in fifth position as he and his MHR teammates dominated qualifying, with all four trucks occupying the top-five spots in the starting lineup. In typical fashion, Eckes wasted no time making bold moves towards the lead. He grabbed the second position on the opening lap and took the lead on lap 11. Shortly after a restart on lap 22, Eckes radioed his NAPA Auto Care team that his brake pedal was going to the floor and that he did not have any brakes. Despite the alarming discovery, Eckes drove to the stage win on lap 30, but was forced to pit under the stage caution.

Crew chief Charles Denike and the MHR team attempted to resolve the issue, but Eckes was forced to retire early and was credited with the 32nd-place result.

“We had a really fast NAPA Auto Care Chevrolet,” Eckes said. “We drove straight to the lead early and was able to control the race for most of the first stage. The brake pedal went to the floor towards the end of the first stage and had some fluid inside the truck, so its really unfortunate for our team and everybody at NAPA that was out here today with us. We’ll go to Vegas and try to make up for it”

Start / Finish: 5 / 32
Points Standing / Total: 9th / 54 pts.

Next Race: Friday, March 1, Las Vegas Motor Speedway
How to Watch or Listen: 9:00 p.m. ET on FS1, MRN or SiriusXM

      Various Types of Bearing Brake Disc(source from :rdbrake.com)
      The primary function of bearing brake discs is to provide a stable and reliable surface for the brake pads to grip, thereby facilitating effective braking. When the brake pedal is pressed, the brake pads clamp onto the spinning brake disc, generating friction that slows down the wheel's rotation. The bearings within the brake disc assembly ensure smooth and consistent rotation, minimizing wear and tear on the braking system.
      Types of Bearing Brake Discs
      Ventilated Brake Discs: These discs feature internal vanes or vents that allow air to circulate, dissipating heat more efficiently. They are commonly used in high-performance vehicles and heavy-duty applications where heat management is crucial.
      Solid Brake Discs: These are simple, flat discs without internal vents. They are typically used in smaller or lighter vehicles where excessive heat build-up is less of a concern.
      Drilled and Slotted Discs: These discs have holes and grooves that enhance heat dissipation and improve braking performance, especially under extreme conditions. They also help in expelling dust and debris from the braking surface.
      Composite Brake Discs: Made from a combination of materials such as cast iron and carbon composites, these discs offer superior performance, reduced weight, and enhanced heat resistance. They are often found in high-end sports cars and racing applications.
      Maintenance of Bearing Brake Discs

      Regular maintenance of bearing brake discs is essential to ensure the longevity and reliability of the braking system. Key maintenance practices include:
      Inspection: Regularly inspect the brake discs for signs of wear, such as grooves, cracks, or uneven surfaces. This can prevent potential brake failure.
      Cleaning: Keep the brake discs clean from dust, dirt, and debris. Use appropriate cleaning solutions and tools to avoid damaging the surface.
      Lubrication: Ensure that the bearings are properly lubricated to reduce friction and prevent overheating. Use the recommended type and amount of lubricant for optimal performance.
      Replacement: Replace the brake discs when they show significant signs of wear or when they reach the manufacturer's recommended lifespan. Timely replacement can prevent more severe damage to the braking system.

      Various Packaging way of Brake Discs( from RDBRAKE.COM)
      In the automotive parts industry, as the key safety components, the packaging design of brake discs is not only related to the product's market image, but also directly affects consumers' purchasing decisions.
      1. Plastic bag
            Generally, brake discs are first packed in a plastic bag. The plastic bag will be sealed as customers' requirement.

      2.  Neutral white box and kraft paper box: low cost.

      3.  Neutral colorful box for brake discs

      4,  Colorful pizza box for brake discs

      Brake discs, also known as brake rotors, are a crucial component of a vehicle's braking system. Surface treatments help improve wear resistance, reduce friction, and protect against corrosion. Here are some common surface treatment methods for brake discs.
        1.     Anti-rust oiling for brake discs This the simplest way to treat surface of brake discs.
        2. Zinc plating for discs Zinc plating is a common surface treatment that involves electroplating a thin layer of zinc onto the brake disc. The advantages include: enhanced corrosion protection; aesthetic appeal; durability.   3.     Geomet coating for brake discs Geomet coating is a water-based, chrome-free solution often used for brake discs. It has superior corrosion resistance and high performance. Being chrome-free, it is less harmful to the environment compared to traditional coatings.   4.     Dacromet coating for brake discs Dacromet is another type of water-based coating, similar to Geomet, but with a different composition.
        5.     Black/Grey painting for brake discs You can choose all body spay, semi-spray, painting hats or painting edges.   Selecting the appropriate surface treatment for brake discs is essential to ensure optimal performance, durability, and safety. Each method has its unique advantages, making it suitable for different applications and environmental conditions.
