Looking
Forward
To
Day
Two
Of
The
Kroger
300 |
| June
16th
-
Ron
Hornaday
logged
in
the
top
ten
for
36
of
84
laps
in
the
Kroger
300
at
Kentucky
Speedway,
which
will
continue
today
(Sunday),
after
a
down
pour
caused
a
rain
delay
Saturday
night.
"We
are
a
little
snug
right
now,
I
have
never
been
to
this
track
and
we
showed
up
here
with
last
years
set
up.
Before
qualifying
we
went
over
to
my
friend
Jack
Sprague
and
|
|
| picked
up
some
notes,
but
we
run
a
different
spindle
then
he
does,
so
we
are
a
little
tight
in
the
middle.
This
track
is
really
smooth,
it's
one
of
those
tracks
where
you
can
really
ark
the
car
and
get
the
nose
planted
and
come
off
the
corner.
We've
pulled
spring
rubbers
out,
wedge
out,
and
made
some
air
pressure
adjustments."
Hornaday
continued,
"
We
are
shooting
for
a
top
ten,
and
I
tell
you
these
guys
deserve
it.
This
team
gives
it
110%
and
this
Dr
Pepper
Chevrolet
is a
great
car
and
shows
to
be a
top
ten
car
every
week.
Unfortunately
I
wrecked
the
car
last
week,
so
we
are
looking
for
a
good
finish
and
pick
up
some
points."
Hornaday
had
just
made
a
pit
stop
when
the
yellow
came
out
due
to
rain.
"Weather
is a
factor,
but
I
think
we
have
a
car
to
contend
with."
stated
Hornaday
who
has
again
proven
he
is
the
Master
of
Restarts,
when
he
was
in
7th
and
moved
up
to
2nd
with-in
a
half
a
lap
during
the
restart
after
an
early
caution.
"They
were
all
bottled
up
at
the
restart
so I
shot
to
the
outside
and
got
some
track
position
and
that
helped
us,
and
this
crew
does
a
heck
of a
job
in
the
pits,
so
we
will
look
for
the
same
today."
The
race
has
been
rescheduled
for
1:00
p.m.
ET
today
(Sunday)
and
will
be
taped
and
aired
on
FX
at
5:30
pm
ET.
