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.” |
