Monticello — Ron Hornaday Jr. took home his second straight Elvis trophy with an
overpowering victory Saturday in the Camping World Truck Series race at
Memphis Motorsports Park.
Hornaday led 175 of 201 laps on the .75-mile track. The driver of the
Kevin Harvick Inc. Chevrolet had a commanding lead over Brian Scott's Toyota
before a late-race caution forced a green-white-checkered finish. Hornaday
pulled away on the final restart and won by .653 seconds over Scott.
It was the second straight week Hornaday has led almost from start to
finish. He led 180 of 200 laps at Milwaukee, where he took the points lead.
Hornaday expanded it to 76 over Matt Crafton at Memphis with his third
victory of the season and 42nd of his career, tops in the history of the
series.
