#2-Ron Hornaday Jr. won the Alan Kulwicki 250 Saturday night at the Milwaukee Mile, taking the lead with seven laps to go after rallying from a lap down. Hornaday passed #38-Shane Hmiel on the inside, ending Hmiel’s chance for his first Busch Series victory. Hornaday started in the 10th position, and dropped a lap behind when the first caution flag came out while he was in the pits. Eight drivers led the 250-lap event – run under the lights for the first time – on the 1.032-mile track. It was Hornaday’s fourth career Busch Series victory and first this season. #32-David Stremme finished second, followed by #22-Jason Keller, Hmiel, driving in place of Nextel Cup driver Kasey Kahne and #25-Bobby Hamilton Jr. Series points leader #8-Martin Truex Jr. finished ninth to increase his lead over #5-Kyle Busch from 10 points to 28. Busch finished 16th. The race drew 44,386 fans, about double what a Champ Car race drew earlier in the month. The Milwaukee Mile renamed the race to honor Kulwicki, the late Winston Cup champion who grew up blocks from the Milwaukee Mile.(ThatsRacin.com/AP)
