It’s déjà vu all over again for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series’ “original” champions.

Jack Sprague (No. 60 Con-way Freight Toyota), Mike Skinner (No. 5 Toyota Tundra Toyota) and Ron Hornaday Jr. (No. 33 AES HR Solutions Chevrolet) occupy three of the top four positions in the standings heading into the March 16 American Commercial Lines 200 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Is there another title in one of their futures?

Right now, the answer would seem to be yes.

Hornaday, in particular, is far ahead of his two-race performances of both 2005 and 2006 when the California native rebounded with top-10 title efforts.

Atlanta was the key to Hornaday’s resurgence two years ago as he edged Bobby Labonte in the series’ closest superspeedway finish.

Hornaday has a new crew chief, 11-time winner Rick Ren, and a partner operation at Kevin Harvick Inc. The No. 2 Camping World Chevrolet will be driven at Atlanta by Clint Bowyer.

“With having the second truck, it is really going to make our team shine this year. It’s 10 times better than the start of last year, ” Hornaday said. “Now here we are in the top five in points. It gives us so much more of a head start than last year. ”
