Hornaday looks for three in a row at Las Vegas

Ron Hornaday Jr., days after admitting to taking steroids and HGH to treat an overactive thyroid condition, won the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at New Hampshire International Speedway.
It was his second Truck Series win in a row, his fifth of the year and the 38th of his career. The former Saugus Speedway champ from Palmdale is second in the standings and trails Johnny Benson by 74 points as the Truck Series heads to Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
"I've had some good runs at Las Vegas over the years. I like the track; it's similar to racing at Texas, Atlanta and Charlotte," said Hornaday, driver of the No. 33 Chevrolet Silverado for Kevin Harvick Inc. "They all have the same layout. We put together a decent run last year, but had a tire issue late in the race that cost us a good finish."
Hornaday has never won a Truck Series race at Las Vegas and his team will be bringing a new truck for this weekend's race.
"Our mile-and-a-half program has been great this year," Hornaday said. "I don't see why we cannot have another good run on this type of track. Rick Ren (crew chief) and all the guys on this Camping World Chevrolet Silverado team do an awesome job week in and week out."
