HORNADAY DOMINATES MEMPHIS TRUCK RACE

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.

Top-10 leaders after 11 of 25: 1. Hornaday-1713, 2. Crafton-1637, 3.

Skinner-1579, 4. Bodine-1564, 5. Starr-1482, 6. Scott-1468, 7. Malsam-1418,
