became a
part of
Nashville
when teaming
up with
Nashville
recording
artist Kent
Gray
and his
daughter Sarah
Jo.
Kent and his
family are
Southern
California
natives and
lived in
Saugus
before
re-locating
to the home
of country
music.
"I
remember
watching Ron
Hornaday
racing Dan
Press at
Saugus
Speedway",
commented Kent
Gray,
"Now, I
get to watch
him on my
TV".
Myself
-"I
grew up
listening to
Kent sing,
and watching
Ron race. To
work with
Ron and Kent
is great,
I also work
with their
kids
as-well. I
first heard
Sarah sing
when she was
only 7 years
old, and I
saw Ronnie 3
running his
first season
at KCR. I
guess it's a
little bonus
to have
watched them
before they
moved on to
the bigger
and better
things.
It goes to
show, they
didn't
forget where
they came
from, I'm
still on the
west
coast".
This
week-end,
Hornaday
visits the
home of
country
music's
Superspeedway
for the
first time
to run in
The Pepsi
300, which
can be seen
live on FOX
at 3 p.m et
on Saturday.
Before
and after
the race,
Hornaday can
listen to
great
country
music on
Nashville's
Live 95
WSM-FM
/
650
WSM-AM
featuring
shows like
"The
Grand Ole'
Opry
Live"
and
catch the
sounds of
Sarah Jo
Gray, such
as her hit "Oklahoma
Home".
"I
grew up on
Rock 'n
Roll, and
now I find
myself
listening to
country more
then
any-thing
else",
Hornaday
said.
"I
really like
the stuff
Travis Tritt
puts
out".
Makes
me wonder if
Team GMAC
will play
some hot
country
sounds in-to
Ron's helmet
while he's
on the track
?
Travis
Tritt's
"Put
Some Drive
In Your
Country"
would be a
good-one to
take the
green flag
too !?!?
So
strap on
those
seatbelts
Nashville,
it's time
for a taste
of the west
as Ron
Hornaday
takes a
little more
then just
"2-steps"
in-to town !
