2nd - He has
had his up's
and down's
this 2002
season, but
Ron Hornaday
says with
the way
things are
right now,
things will
keep going
up.
Hornaday
finished 6th
this past
weekend at
Dover after
starting
18th. The
week before
he got the
fast time at
Charlotte,
only to be
taken out
during a
mid-race
crash,
placing
|
|
| 33rd.
The #26 Dr
Pepper
Chevrolet
had only
seen a best
14th place
finish this
season,
until
Hornaday
took over
the ride,
and since
has had the
pole, and
two top 10
finishes,
including
3rd at
Nazareth.
"We
show that we
have a top
10 car every
week, give
us time and
you'll see
us in
victory
lane"
commented
the 2000
Busch Series
Most Popular
Driver.
"I
had a long
time fan
give me a
special good
luck charm
for my
birthday at
Dover",
stated
Hornaday,
"She
honored me
with her
dogtags from
her stay in
the Army.
She let me
know that
they kept
her safe and
wanted to
give them to
me to keep
me safe.
It's one of
the most
special
presents
that I have
ever
received and
I put them
in the car
with me
before we
ran the
race".
Hornaday
continued,
" After
the race the
team ask if
they could
put them in
the racecar
each week
and I told
them that I
had already
planned to,
because they
came from
such a
Special
Lady".
Ron
Hornaday and
the Dr
Pepper Team
will next
hit
Nashville
Speedway for
the
Nashville
250 Busch
Series
event.
