WIX Filters Lap Leader Notes For The Kroger 200 NASCAR Camping World Series Race At Martinsville Speedway, October 24, 2009
Saturday, October 24, 2009
Ron Hornaday Jr. led once for 54 laps to earn WIX Filters Lap Leader of the Race honors in the Kroger 200. Hornaday Jr. has now led 1,055 total laps this season and at least one lap in 18 of the 21 races this season. Hornaday Jr. has now led 4,644 laps in 95 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series short track races. He has led 8,871 laps in 246 career starts.

Hornaday Jr. scored a fourth-place finish in today’s race, his 13th top-five and 17th top-10 this season.

UNOFFICIALLY Hornaday Jr. leads the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship standings by 224 points over second-place Matt Crafton and is 326 ahead of third-place Mike Skinner.

Hornaday Jr. claimed the WIX Filters Lap Leader of the Race for the 14th time in 2009 and has already clinched the overall award for this season.

HORNADAY JR. QUOTES: “This VFW Chevrolet was awesome. It takes a lot of people. But to come out of here with that many laps on these tires, they’re probably down to the cords. Goodyear brought another tire and that’s what NASCAR wanted them to wear out and they did. I’m glad that the boss was behind me and he was having brake problems too so we’re going to go home and work on that and get it better for next year.” HOW SURPRISED ARE YOU THAT TIM PETERS WENT SO FAR ON FUEL? “Toyota has got a little smaller restrictor [plate]. They still have a lot of torque up off the corner and get better fuel mileage than the Chevrolets and we seen that. Skinner was going to go the whole way, he pitted then, too. Timmy is really good here and I’ve got to go congratulate him. He done an awesome job today. He made some big holes for all of us so that was cool.”
