Mooresville, NC (May 8th, 2007) – Ron Hornaday is no sit at home on the coach kind of a guy, no-way, he is a racer!  So what does he do with weeks off at a time during the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series... 

More than likely, you will find Ron Hornaday at one track or another, whether it be asphalt or dirt...

"I'm not slated to run the car, Kevin is, but this is a chance for Wally Rodgers and I to work together and have things set up for, Kevin." commented Hornaday.

Asphalt is where Hornaday has made his name, but it's the dirt that gave Hornaday his start, while racing Motorcycles on the West Coast. Now, he's teaming up with the next generation of Hornaday Racers... Hornaday's only grandson, Slater, has been tearing up the MX tracks on the East Coast, and Ron (Pappy) has been by his side the past few events.
