Nov.
10th, 2002 -
(Phoenix, Az) - Ron
Hornaday has a
winning history at
Phoenix
International
Raceway, but this
past weekend,
Hornaday went Major
League at PIR.
Hornaday had 2002
World Series
Champion Angels
Pitcher Kevin Appier
at PIR as his
special guest.
"It's
great having Kevin
here this weekend.
|
| He
and I come from the
Antelope Valley in
Southern California.
To have him out here
at the races is just
awesome !"
stated Hornaday.
"I can't say I
am baseball's
biggest fan, but
this years World
Series was hard not
to be a part of.
Kevin sent me some
great Angels gear
including a
Championship hat.
Heck, I even had one
of those Rally
Monkeys in my Dr
Pepper car."
Hornaday continued,
"I want to
thank Brian Golden
for putting this all
together, and Kevin
for taking the time
to come out to the
track."
Both
Hornaday and Appier
were presented with
invitations to the
Silver Saddle Ranch
in the Antelope
Valley as a Home
Coming Retreat
during the off
seasons of Baseball
and NASCAR.
What
does 2003 hold for
these two ?
Well, Kevin plans on
attending more
events with Hornaday
and having Hornaday
attend a few games
as his guest.
"I would love
to have Ron at some
games next
season."
commented Appier.
"I am just
disappointed I
didn't get to meet
Dave Carroll and
Todd Lohse from Dr
Pepper Racing.
I really wanted to
meet the crew, but
plans just didn't
work out."
After
Homestead, Hornaday
and his family will
be taking a trip to
Jamaica for the Air
Jamaica Vacations
NASCAR Beach Bash.
"My family and
I don't get to take
many vacations and
for the past few
years Beach Bash has
been the perfect
getaway, maybe after
we get back from
Jamaica we will head
to the Silver Saddle
Ranch and take a
vacation from our
vacation."
commented Hornaday.
