We'd learn through Hornaday being interviewed post race, that the absence of his signature burnout is due to the team losing GM support and pinching dimes. By doing the burnout, he could have torn up the clutch and needlessly damaged the engine.
Hornaday would dedicate the win to his sick Mother-In-law, do the normal thanks you to all the sponsors the crew and the Harvick's.
While in Trucks, Hornaday has some impressive stats, but he would mention in victory lane that his wife Lindy, holds an amazing one herself.
She was back home with her sick mom, would miss only the eighth race in the last 3o years and it's an amazing stat of devotion to ones spouse.
Dennis Setzer would finish second, ran a really great race, collected his second top five and hope these guys land some sponsor help.
Brian Scott ran the entire race in the top-10, except a couple of laps after a loose lug nut, more amazing was he did it with a cast on his right wrist and proved he's one tough customer.
He actually over shadow a dominating birthday performance by Horn and it was fun keeping track of were Scott was through out the race.
Todd Bodine would finish fourth, led 15 laps, ran a good race and battle to hold onto finishing in the top five.
Rookie James Buescher would finish fifth, he ran a really good race, battle and earned his top five finish.
Positions sixth through 10th were; Stacy Compton, Tayler Malsam, Colin Braun, David Starr ,and Terry Cook.
The points now has Ron Hornaday leading by 36 points over Matt Crafton in second and 88 points on mike Skinner in third.
Hornaday leads the Copart Challenge 195 to 160 points over Bodine. (Working on a article about this new award by Copart that was announced on June 19th.)
The next race is, June 27 at Memphis Motorsports Park, for the MemphisTravel.com 200 presented by O'Reilly Auto Parts on Speed at 5:30PM the Set-Up Show with Krista Voda and a 6:00PM Race Time.
