Hornaday snapped a 22-race winless streak in the Truck Series on Friday night, winning the AAA Insurance 200 at O’Reilly Raceway Park.
Shortly after the final restart, Hornaday and Kyle Busch chased down Peters. Hornaday then made his winning pass with 48 laps remaining. He finished two seconds ahead of Busch for his 46th career truck victory, but his first since August 1, 2009 at Nashville.
“It was just a great day,” said Hornaday, who led 129 of 200 laps. “Hopefully, it keeps everybody a little bit quiet, but it took [crew chief] Ernie [Cope] to come here and settle everyone down, because the guys were getting a little anxious. We know we’ve got a winning team, but we just had to prove it to them.”
Matt Crafton was third, with Johnny Sauter fourth and James Buescher fifth.
Bodine’s series points lead grew to 177 on Aric Almirola, who finished 31st after being involved in a Lap 96 accident with Narain Karthikeyan and Mario Gosselin. The points lead is the largest in series history with 13 races remaining.
