Texas two step
It was a good night for Ron Hornaday Jr. at Texas Motor Speedway on Friday.
He won the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race, his second of the year and the 35th of his career, and regained the lead in the Truck Series standings.
A reporter said after the race that Hornaday had a different look about him. The reporter asked if winning the race at Texas was special in any way.
"It is the biggest win right now," said Hornaday, driver of the No. 33 Chevrolet Silverado for Kevin Harvick Inc. and a former Saugus Speedway champ from Palmdale. "I tell you other than Daytona, Texas is a race that I've wanted to win. I've always wanted to win Lowe's and we did that last year and we've run good there. You know we've got these things figured out and you've got to get through the headaches."
Hornaday had to survive a green-white-checkered finish and hold off a blazing Kyle Busch to win at Texas.
"When I saw that yellow come out as we were coming to the white flag, I said aw darn, I just lost this race," Hornaday said. "But Kyle drove me clean and I've got to thank everybody. Goodyear gave us a good tire and they wore out and got slippery. I've never run the top here at Texas and to see what this Camping World Chevrolet did, it just says a lot for KHI and all these guys."
