Like on the local tracks, the cool thing with Memphis Motorsports Park they hole victory lane right on the track and use a tractor trailer as a stage.
Hornaday would run through the thank you's, do all the photos and posed with the Elvis Trophy after getting it from Steve McGranahan "the World's Strongest Redneck".
"The last Elvis trophy at Memphis, that's pretty cool," Hornaday said.
"It was pretty awesome to come here and win the last Elvis trophy. That's means a lot."
Brian Scott ran a great race, lead 20 laps in finishing second, used pit strategy to get up front and without a cast on his right hand the finish could possibly been different.
David Starr would also run a great race, finishing third, also tried pit strategy to get up front and got his best finish of 2009.
Aric Almirola would finish fourth, led a lap, ran a great race, his last set of tires hurt his trucks handling and end up getting a career best fourth place finish in trucks.
Matt Crafton brought it home fifth, he ran a great race battle hard to hold onto fifth and ran a smart race keeping pace with the points leader.
Positions sixth through 10th were; Mike Skinner, Timothy Peters, Johnny Sauter, Colin Braun and Todd Bodine.
The points are now; Hornaday leads Crafton by 76 points in second and Skinner in third by 134 points.
The next race is; July 18: Built Ford Tough 225 at Kentucky Speedway on Speed at 6:30PM with the Set-Up Show with Krista Voda and 7:00PM Race Time.
I'm dedicating this recap to Jason Arden. A talented crew member in NASCAR, who was killed last year on June 26th, right before the Memphis Truck race. He always had a smile on his face at the track. "Ardy" will always be missed, he touched many drivers and fans hearts.
