Hornaday second at Phoenix

| | Comments (0) |

Ron Hornaday Jr. finished second in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Phoenix International Raceway and is still in second in the Truck Series standings.
He trails Mike Skinner by 29 points with one race to go -- next weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
"Cool. It is another race for us at Homestead," said Hornaday, driver of the No. 33 Chevrolet Silverado for Kevin Harvick Inc. "That is all we can do, is keep doing what we are doing and racing hard."
Hornaday said even before the race at Phoenix was over, his team was developing its strategy for the race at Homestead.
"We are doing everything we can," Hornaday said. "We are bringing the truck we wrecked in Texas. They went home and fixed it, put a new horn on it and everything. It is a pretty good piece. Some of the guys got it at the wind tunnel right now."
Hornaday wrecked late in the Texas race and posted an 18th-place finish. It put him well behind Skinner for the lead in the Truck Series standings.
But his second-place finish at Phoenix, couple with Skinner's 10th-place finish, will make the Homestead race interesting.
"I have a team that never says die and they work their guts out to figure out my favorite trucks and they have been bringing them back," Hornaday said. "We are going to do everything we have to do, run like we did and hopefully Skinner has problem in the pits again. I heard the jackman was jacking his kneecaps or something I heard."
