Chassis

Returns
To
Track:
Crew
chief
Rick
Ren
received
a bit
of
good
news
two
weeks
ago
while
in
Mansfield
,
Ohio

Chassis
024
was
sitting
on
the
main
shop
floor
at
KHI
and
was
ready
to be
set
up
for
Texas
.
This
is
the
same
truck
that
Hornaday
drove
to
Victory
Lane
at
Kansas
Speedway
on
April
26
and
was
damaged
in
the
closing
laps
of
the
North
Carolina
Education
Lottery
200
at
Lowe’s
Motor
Speedway
on
May
16.
From
The
Driver’s
Seat
–
Quotes
From
Ron
Hornaday:
On
racing
at
Texas
: “
Texas
is a
fast
track.
It’s
like
Atlanta
and
Lowe’s
where
you
can
carry
a lot
of
speed
out
of
the
turns.
I’ve
had
some
good
runs
there
and
have
been
in
position
to
win a
few
times.
I
know
(crew
chief)
Rick
Ren
will
have
our
truck
dialed
in
and
we’ll
be
fast.”
Atop
The
Pit
Box –
Quotes
From
Rick
Ren:
On
racing
at
Texas
: “
Texas
is a
cool
race
track
because
a lot
fans
come
out
to
watch
the
trucks
race.
I
can’t
believe
that
we
won’t
go to
Texas
and
have
pretty
good
shot
at
winning
after
how
well
we
ran
at
Lowe’s.
We
have
truck
024
back
now
and
I’m
anxious
to
get
it
back
on
the
track.”
