The finish came in his 15th career series start. Entering Season three of the truck series, Odenberg had never raced in the SCRL and would make his league and series debut at Walt Disney World, where he finished a respectable 17th place. A career best of 4th at Nazareth would be his highlight until the series made their 13th stop of the season, starting on the pole, Odenberg would lead wire-to-wire, leading every single lap, for his first career SCRL win. A disappointing 33rd at Colorado in the last event sat Odenberg inside the Top 25 in points as drivers arrived at the first road course event of the season.
On race day, Odenberg would roll off the field in the 40th and final spot, and as the field made their way around the track on the pace lap, his truck began to smoke as the driver pulled into the pits as the green flag was waved to start the race. Odenberg would pull his truck in the garage, having no crossed the start/finish line, as the team found that the Transmission was broken, and retired the truck as the leaders completed the first lap.
Rounding out the Bottom Five were drivers who all completed the race on the same lap as race winner Maria Valera: 39th went to I-70 last-place finisher the #88 PBA Tour Chevrolet of Carter Frisen, 38th went to the #75 Spears Manufacturing Chevrolet of Joshua Rush, 37th went to the #9 Rhino Linings USA Chevrolet of Brian Fox and finishing in 36th was Colorado last-place finisher the #99 Exide Batteries Ford of James Stabilito.
