Ron Hornaday will pilot JDM 5 in this weekend’s Ford EcoBoost 200 at HMS. This is a brand new chassis built by Turner Motorsports specifically for this weekend’s season finale. Smokey Mountain Herbal Snuff returns to as sponsor for the #9 Chevrolet Silverado. Hornaday has led 126 laps at the speedway en route to one win (November 2008) as well as four top-five and 10 top-10 finishes in 12 starts at the Homestead, Florida track. Hornaday boasts an average start of 12.5 coupled with an average finish of 6.9 and has completed 100 percent of laps attempted (1739 of 1739). “I know it’s all about the championship contenders this weekend, but for me, my season isn’t over just because I’m not contending for a title. It’s been a tough year to say the least, but we still have a lot to prove in the final race of the season at Homestead. We were proud to welcome Smokey Mountain Herbal Snuff on board earlier this year and I hope to have a strong run for them this weekend. We are in the process of getting plans ironed out for next year and it would be rewarding to go out on top, to give Joe and all the employees at JDM something they have struggled to find in the last two seasons, a win.”(Joe Denette Motorsports PR)(11-13-2012)
