NASCAR's News & Notes
Truck Series News & Notes - New Hampshire Motor Speedway
Odds Good Hornaday's Milestone 50th Victory Could Come at Loudon
Could Ron Hornaday Jr. capture his milestone 50th victory at New Hampshire Motor Speedway?
Short answer: yes.
Hornaday owns the best record of any NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver at the Magic Mile. He won the track's first event in 1996, broke its string of 11 consecutive different winners in 2007 and became NHMS's first back-to-back winner the following year.
New Hampshire Motor Speedway is one of 30 different tracks on which the 53-year-old California competitor has won. A New Hampshire victory was part of Hornaday's championship resume in two seasons -- 1996 and 2007. Four series champions -- Hornaday, Johnny Benson, Travis Kvapil and Jack Sprague have won at the track. "You've really got to have the whole package at this race track to come through the field. Track position is critical, so hopefully we will have a fast Chevrolet in qualifying and be able to start up front," said Hornaday of the Loudon track -- one of two tracks where he owns three victories.
Hornaday's one of two drivers with multiple victories in Saturday's F.W. Webb 175. Kyle Busch is the other -- and Busch is going for his third consecutive victory.
There will be a 13th different New Hampshire winner if neither Hornaday nor Busch wins Saturday's race. None of the other 10 previous winners are among currently entered drivers. Kevin Harvick Inc., which will field entries for Hornaday and Kevin Harvick, is the only active owner with more than one victory at NHMS.
Buescher's Off Night Tightens Points Standings Again
James Buescher has become the third driver to lead series championship standings after back-to-back races but his hold on the No. 1 spot is tenuous at best. Buescher had an "off" night at Chicagoland Speedway finishing 11th with an ill-handling truck. The performance snapped a season-best streak of 13 consecutive top-10 finishes and allowed previous leaders Austin Dillon and Johnny Sauter to close within three and six points of the lead respectively.
Dillon scored his second win of the season -- and the first of his career with NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers Harvick and Busch in the field. "This is the biggest win of my career, I think," said the 21-year-old Dillon following his fourth career win. He entered the season's 18th race third and bypassed Sauter, who finished sixth. "I ran up there racing with Kyle and Harvick."
Timothy Peters, like Buescher, had a tough night at Chicagoland finishing 17th. He remains fourth in the points standings but 20 off the lead. Hornaday completes the current top five, 47 points behind Buescher.
Fortunes For Several Intertwined In New Hampshire
Call the F.W. Webb 175, "All in the (Racing) Family." NASCAR remains a close-knit group as evidenced by the following:
- Dillon's spotter, Andy Houston, won the race in 1998.
- Sauter's brother, Jay, won the 1997 event driving for Richard Childress Racing which fields Chevrolets for rival Dillon.
- Peters' Red Horse Racing competition director Terry Cook won the race in 2002.
- Cook drove for K Automotive, a Keselowski family operation. Bob and Kay Keselowski's son Brad owns the Dodges seating Sunoco Rookie of the Year contender Parker Kligerman.
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Etc.
Kyle Busch Motorsports announced that two-time defending NASCAR Mexico Series Champion German Quiroga will make his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut in the F.W. Webb 175 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Saturday, Sept. 24. Quiroga has signed a one-race deal to pilot KBM's No. 51 Toyota Tundra with sponsorship from Telcel. ... Steve Arpin won his first series Keystone Light Pole Award at Chicagoland Speedway. Arpin, making just his fifth appearance, is the 14th different pole winner of the season and second Turner Motorsports driver to snag the No. 1 starting spot. Teammate Ricky Carmichael sat on the pole in Atlanta. ... Blake Feese returns to Turner's No. 32 Chevrolet at New Hampshire. He finished fourth in the truck Sept. 2 in Atlanta. ... Rookies Nelson Piquet Jr. and Kligerman finished third and fourth in Chicago. The two account for a combined seven top-five finishes in 2011 with each accounting for second-place performances. The Sunoco rookie battle remains tight with Cole Whitt leading Joey Coulter by eight points. ... Jimmy Villeneuve, truck chief of Piquet's No. 8 Kevin Harvick Inc. Chevrolet, will be heading home this week to race in front of family and friends during the F.W. Webb 175. Originally from Auburn, N.H., Villeneuve got his start in racing working on Super Late Models at a local short track, Lee USA Speedway.(NASCAR Integrated Marketing Communications)(9-20-2011)
