Hornaday
finished
12th in the
Winston Open
/ No Bull
Sprint.
"Running
the Winston
has always
been a dream
of
mine".
Hornaday
said.
"I have
to thank
Dave Carroll
for giving
me the
chance to
continue to
work with
BAM Racing's
Cup program.
I have been
working with
Beth and
Tony's team
to help
Shawna for a
while now.
When the Cup
cars are
running the
same track
as the Busch
Series, I am
at the
garage and
there to
help. They
are a new
team with a
rookie
driver and I
will do all
I can to
help improve
their
program.
Shawna is a
talented
driver, and
the team
works well
together, we
are just
trying to
find the
communication
and set ups.
They have a
strong
engine
program, and
that 49 car
is fast. I
didn't have
much time to
drive the
car before
we took the
green, and
we qualified
8th quick.
Near the end
of the No
Bull Sprint,
the car was
really loose
and there is
no need to
ruin
equipment,
so we took
12th."
Hornaday
continued,
"We
will have
some track
time this
week and I
feel we will
have
some-thing
to show for
the
600."
Ron
Hornaday
brought home
a seasons
best to
Carroll
Racing, and
himself
finishing
3rd in the
Stacker 200.
The
Dr Pepper
Racing
Chevrolet
took the
green from
the 26th
starting
position,
after
qualifying
was
rained-out
and the
field was
forced to
start by
points.
Thought it
didn't take
long for
Hornaday to
bring the
Carroll
Racing
Machine to
the front at
Nazareth Speedway.
The 'Master
of The
Restarts"
was in
action and
was up to
11th by the
first pit
stop on lap
63 of 200.
Great work
shown by the
crew had the
#26 back out
in the 12th
position.
Ron
Hornaday is
no stranger
to Nazareth
Speedway,
with two
career
victories at
the track,
including
one in the
NASCAR
Craftsman
Truck Series
and one in
the Busch
Series.
Hornaday
would pick
up 5 bonus
points for
leading
before
bringing in
the Dr
Pepper Monte
Carlo for
service
during the
last caution
of the day.
Once again a
great pit
stop had
Hornaday
back out
quick and
sitting in
the third
spot, and a
challenge to
re-take the
lead.
Hornaday
maintained
the 3rd
position and
finished so,
in his
second time
out with the
Carroll / Dr
Pepper
Racing
Organization.
"I
have to
thank Dave
Carroll and
Todd Lohse.
For these
guys to have
the
confidence
in me, to
get in a car
with no lap
time is
great".
said
Hornaday. I
really have
to thank Andy
Santerre for
helping out.
What he did
for me and
this Dr
Pepper Team
is simply
awesome.
They had the
Dr Pepper
Chevrolet
running
great."
Hornaday
also stated,
"I have
an agreement
with Carroll
Racing, and
working to
build the
program with
Dr Pepper
Racing.
It is great
working with
this team,
and I look
forward to
what is to
come."
The
next events
for Hornaday
are at
Lowe's Motor
Speedway in
Charlotte
North
Carolina
this
week-end,
where once
again
Hornaday
will be
pulling
double duty
in both the
Winston Cup
and Busch
Series'.
