Hornaday with Truck Series race at Lowe's

| | Comments (0) |

Ron Hornaday Jr. won his first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race of the season and the first of his career at Lowe's Motor Speedway Friday night.
Hornaday, driver of the No. 33 Chevrolet Silverado for Kevin Harvick Inc., is the winningest driver in Truck Series history with 30.
It's taken Hornaday a while to get comfortable with Lowe's Motor Speedway and he was able to avoid some of the mistakes he made in the past.
"I am the type of driver that is just gung-ho and overdrives the track," said Hornaday, a former Saugus Speedway champ from Palmdale. "When I got hired by Kevin, he showed me how to drive it and I just got going well through the bumps in three and four, figured out how to do it and ran really well that night and they repaved it. We actually ran decent last year, but it is one of those tracks where you have to be right on and good."
Hornaday credited the experience of his crew chief Rick Ren for having the knowledge to set up the truck to run as well as it did.
"It took a while and Rick Ren has been around her enough times with different drivers and we hit the setup right on," Hornaday said. "When people ask me what is my favorite track, I always tell them it is the ones I win at, so right now this is one of my favorite tracks."
