For weeks, Ron Hornaday Jr. and Mike Skinner went back and forth atop the Truck Series standings, neither ever taking command of the title chase.
That is, until Skinner lost a wheel in the season finale - a break that helped Hornaday make history.
Hornaday won his third Truck Series championship Friday night, finishing seventh to edge Skinner by 54 points after the season-ending Ford 200 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
“It comes down to great teams, and everybody here had a part in it,” said Hornaday, who matched Jack Sprague for the most career Truck Series titles. CanadianPress
Hornaday trailed by 29 points entering the night, but benefited nicely when Skinner’s left rear wheel broke away midway through the race. Hornaday matched Jack Sprague for the most career Truck Series titles.
