Quackenbush made every USAC feature event in the 2019 season, collecting six top tens in eleven starts, grabbing a heat race victory at the Bedford Speedway, and three straight top tens to finish out the season.

After speaking with Quackenbush he has confirmed his plans to return to the USAC East Coast Sprint Car Series in 2020 and will focus primarily on wingless racing, with limited winged starts.
