Bourque drove the No. 93 ImpreMedia Dodge for ESR in the ARCA 200 at Daytona International Speedway where he finished in the 24th position following an incident while running in the top-5. To prepare for his additional races, Bourque has tested with his ESR teammates at Rockingham Speedway and Iowa Speedway. The team attended the open ARCA RE/MAX test at Kansas Speedway, but inclement weather forced the cancellation.

"We had good tests at Rockingham and Iowa," said Crew Chief David Leiner, Jr. "Unfortunately we didn't make it out on track at Kansas due to the weather, but I know we'll be just fine there."
