Though the statistics suggest – strongly – that Ron Hornaday Jr. will make series history this weekend, another veteran could steal the glory.
Rick Crawford is also strong at ORP, and has as good a shot as any at stopping Hornaday from becoming the first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver to win four consecutive races.
Crawford’s last victory was at the Indianapolis track, 72 races ago (Aug. 4, 2006). He has three top 10s in the last four races there and has racked up top-five statistics across the board. At ORP over the last four races, Crawford has a Driver Rating of 112.6 (second-best), an Average Running Position of 6.0 (second), 57 Fastest Laps Run (fourth) and 756 Laps in the Top 15 (94.4%), which is second-best.
But most of the attention will surely shift to Hornaday who is trying to win an unprecedented four straight. It’s the second time he’ll attempt the feat. In 1997, Hornaday won three races in a row, but finished third at Heartland Park Topeka in his bid for four straight (he would go on to win the next two, for five victories in six races).
