After last weekend’s second-place finish at Iowa Speedway, Ron Hornaday Jr. proved he can still lead laps and contend for wins. Hornaday capitalized on a track-best start (eighth) to bring home a track-best finish of second in the American Ethanol 200 at Iowa Speedway. After leading 22 of the last 32 laps, Hornaday spun his tires on a final restart at lap 190 to finish second behind Timothy Peters. The strong showing was his best finish of the 2012 season. The #9 Joe Denette Motorsports team welcomes Anderson’s Pure Maple Syrup back on board the #9 Chevrolet Silverado of Ron Hornaday for this weekend’s event at Chicagoland Speedway. This will be the Northwood, Wisconsin-based company’s fourth event with Hornaday and JDM this season. Hornaday is up to seventh in the 2012 NCWTS driver point standings heading into this weekend’s American Ethanol 225 at Chicagoland Speedway, a mere 10 points behind fifth-place, Parker Klingerman and 57 points behind leader, Timothy Peters.(Joe Denette Motorsports PR)(7-17-2012)
