Friday night’s win was a special one for crew chief Rick Ren, who tied a series record for wins with different drivers. Ron Hornaday Jr. was the fifth different driver Ren has led to victory, tying John Monsam for the most different drivers. Ren’s first win came with Rick Carelli at Bristol Motor Speedway in 1996. Carelli is now Hornaday’s spotter. Ironically, Hornaday and Carelli both won races with Monsam.
The win was the 12th of Ren’s career, tying him with Fred Graves for fourth all-time. All 12 of Graves’ wins were with Hornaday.
Ren has five wins with Johnny Benson (No. 23 Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Toyota), three with Andy Houston, two with Travis Kvapil (No. 6 Roush Fenway Racing Ford) and one with Carelli.
