Nov.
12, 2001 - The 2000 NASCAR Busch
Series Most Popular Driver
stepped back in the series 4
months into the 2001 season, to
drive the Highline Performance
Group, #11 Channellock
Chevrolet. "I'm
looking forward to being a part
of the Channellock team,"
said Hornaday. Ron only ran 10
races for the Highline team,
before owner / driver problems
became to much for both.
Being
a veteran Busch Series driver,
Ron was approached by Curb-Agajanian Motorsports
to drive the #43 Morton
Salt / Quality Farm Stores,
Chevrolet. "I
have to thank Curb-Agajanian Motorsports
for this opportunity. Running both
series is a real plus" said
Hornaday. With only a few races
left in the season, one can only
feel this venture is something
that we might watch for in the
2002 Busch Series season.
2001
has been an up and down year for
Hornaday. The death of former
employer and friend Dale Earnhardt
was the first of many losses for the
Hornaday family. Ron's mother,
Helen Hornaday past-a-way in May,
just days after spending time with
her son and family at California
speedway. "My
family and myself would like to say
Thank-you so very much for all of
your nice wishes for our mother. She
passed away
Saturday morning from heart failure.
We will miss her so much but we know
in our
hearts that she is in a better
place now, with God and all of her
angels that she
loved so much. Again,
Thank-you to all, Ron and the entire
Hornaday Family
One tough year, one tough man
! Ron Hornaday stood strong
through the families tragedies, and
was ready for some-thing new and
bright. "My Daughter Candice is
going to have me a grandson"
stated Ron. "You know I have
two granddaughters, but no
grandson". Candice came
through for her mother and father,
with the delivery of Slater Ryan
McCray, on October 3rd - 8:01 PM - 7
lbs. 6 oz. 19 inches. A
contest was held, to see who could
come closest to the date and time of
birth of lil' Slater. Eric Pushard
of Las Vegas Nevada, was the first
to submit a guess and it was the
winning date and time. -
"Thanks for playing along. This
is great, I told Lindy to get out
and shop for her Granddaughters now,
cause I have a Grandson and now it's
Pappy's turn to do the spoiling. To
start, I think I will go order his
new Go-Cart" ! - Ron
Watch
for Hornaday 2002 ! The chisels
have yet to carve stone, but I
believe you will see a great season
for Ron in both Busch and Winston
Cup competition.
