been
to victory lane at PPIR in the past. In 1998, Hornaday
led 98 of 198 laps to win the NASCAR Truck Series (NCTS) event
at PPIR. In fact, Hornaday has raced at PPIR in both the
NCTS and NBS and has never finished outside of the top-10.
Last year, Hornaday finished fourth driving the No. 26
Chevrolet for Carroll Racing.
What
ya haulin’? - The No. 2 ACDelco transporter will unload
chassis No. 34 at PPIR. It is the same “drop-snout” car
that the team raced to top-10 finishes at Milwaukee and New
Hampshire. Chassis No. 34 has become one of Hornaday’s
favorite cars.

Ron Hornaday on Pike’s Peak
International Raceway
What are
your
thoughts
on racing
at PPIR?
“I won at
Pikes Peak
in the
Trucks, so
this is
definitely
one of my
favorite
tracks.
Colorado
Springs is
a
beautiful
city and
the Rocky
Mountains
are an
incredible
backdrop
for
racing. I
feel like
we have a
great fan
base
there, so
I enjoy
spending
extra time
in the
area. The
track is
pretty
cool.
It’s a
little
like
Richmond,
but it
seems to
wear the
tires
more. The
altitude
also puts
the engine
tuner in
the
spotlight.
The RCR
team
always
seems to
get the
most out
of their
motors
there, so
I am
really
pumped to
be racing
the
ACDelco
Chevrolet
this time
out.” |
