Hornaday Looking for Record Fourth Truck Series Win at New Hampshire Motor Speedway

AskLisa — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 17:02:00 GMT

As New Hampshire Motor Speedway's only three-time and back-to-back winner in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, Ron Hornaday, Jr. will come to New Hampshire in September to continue his record-setting domination.

Hornaday became the first repeat winner in the Camping World Truck Series at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in 2007, 11 years after winning the inaugural Truck Series race at the speedway in 1996.

Last September, Hornaday earned his third victory at the speedway, along with the distinction of being the first back-to-back Truck Series race winner at the track.

Winning in New Hampshire has also been important to Hornaday's success. In two of the three seasons he's won in New Hampshire, Hornaday has gone on to win the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship. In his career, Hornaday has four championships and 42 victories.

He's not slowing down either. The winningest driver in NASCAR Camping World Truck Series history, Hornaday has visited victory lane four times in 2009, including a win on his birthday at the Milwaukee Mile. As an encore, the 51-year-old won again the following week at Memphis Motorsports Park, and made it three in a row last week at Kentucky. He is currently the Series points leader.

"New Hampshire Motor Speedway has been a very good track for the No. 33 team for the past few years," said Hornaday. "It's pretty cool that I am the only three time winner [in the Truck Series] at that track. There are a lot of other drivers who have had a lot of success there, my boss [Kevin Harvick] being one of them. I don't know if we can make it three in a row, but we will sure try."

Fans can see Hornaday go for his fourth New Hampshire win on Saturday, September 19, in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Heluva Good! 200. Tickets for the Heluva Good! 200 and the SYLVANIA 300 are on sale now. The MegaTicket package features three days of racing for $99. The SYLVANIA Speed Zone seating section offers fans a $39 Sunday ticket. With these promotions, fans have the unique opportunity to experience NASCAR racing for approximately 13 cents a lap!

NASCAR Sprint Cup Heluva Good! Pole Qualifying for the LENOX Industrial Tools 301 Washed Out

AskLisa — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 22:20:00 GMT

Heluva Good! Pole qualifying for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series LENOX Industrial Tools 301 was canceled Friday afternoon due to inclement weather.

Rain began falling at New Hampshire Motor Speedway at about 2:00 p.m. At that time, the final practice for the NASCAR Nationwide Series was cut short. An hour later, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series qualifying was canceled.

The field for the LENOX Industrial Tools 301 will be set according to Sprint Cup Series points standings, giving points leader Tony Stewart the pole.

Alongside Stewart in Row 1 will be Jeff Gordon. Jimmie Johnson and Kurt Busch fill out Row 2. Busch was the fastest in practice earlier in the day.

"It's always important when you go around to the tracks the first time," said Kurt Busch. "You know in the back of your mind it's a "Chase Race" when you go back."

His No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge had a lap time of 29.149 seconds and a top speed of 130.667 mph.

"We knew it was going to rain but I still wanted to have a practice qualifying lap under my belt. That way, when we come back in September, we're starting off with notes that are current."

Stewart hit the wall during practice and will have to go to a back-up car, but will use the same engine.

Teams will have two more practice sessions on Saturday before the LENOX Industrial Tools 301 on Sunday.

With the weather subsiding, the NASCAR Camping World Series East Heluva Good! Summer 125 started as scheduled at 5:10 p.m.

A limited number of tickets remain for the LENOX Industrial Tools 301. The LENOX Speed Zone seating section offers fans a $39 Sunday ticket giving them the unique opportunity to experience NASCAR racing for approximately 13 cents a lap!
