KERNERSVILLE, N.C. (December 12, 2005) --
For the second time in his NASCAR Truck Series career,
Ron Hornaday was named Most Popular Driver. The
announcement was made Sunday, Dec. 11, during the NASCAR
Craftsman Truck Series Awards Banquet at the Portofino
Bay Resort at Universal Orlando Resort, Fla.
For the past 10 years, NASCAR has voted
for the Most Popular Driver Award and concluded on
different drivers each consecutive year. Hornaday has
become the first two-time Truck Series winner in the
history of the award.
“I could not have been more surprised, I
never would have guessed that I would have received this
award…again,” Hornaday said after the banquet on Sunday
night. “It’s such an honor to be voted Most Popular
Driver by NASCAR and the fans over all the other drivers
within the Truck Series that are well deserved.
“I can’t take all the credit for this,
and want to thank Kevin and DeLana Harvick for the
opportunity to drive their truck and my entire team for
their dedication and hard work this season.”
Hornaday has earned this prestigious honor five times in
his racing career in a variety of NASCAR’s racing
divisions. Including the Truck Series (2005, 1997),
Hornaday has earned the title in the Busch Series
(2002), Winston West Series (1994) and Southwest Tour
(1992). |
