Could Ron Hornaday Jr. capture his milestone 50th victory at New Hampshire Motor Speedway?
Short answer: yes.
Hornaday owns the best record of any NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver at the Magic Mile. He won the track’s first event in 1996, broke its string of 11 consecutive different winners in 2007 and became NHMS’s first back-to-back winner the following year.
New Hampshire Motor Speedway is one of 30 different tracks on which the 53-year-old California competitor has won. A New Hampshire victory was part of Hornaday’s championship resume in two seasons – 1996 and 2007. Four series champions – Hornaday, Johnny Benson, Travis Kvapil and Jack Sprague have won at the track.
“You’ve really got to have the whole package at this race track to come through the field. Track position is critical, so hopefully we will have a fast Chevrolet in qualifying and be able to start up front,” said Hornaday of the Loudon track – one of two tracks where he owns three victories.
Hornaday’s one of two drivers with multiple victories in Saturday’s F.W. Webb 175. Kyle Busch is the other – and Busch is going for his third consecutive victory.
There will be a 13th different New Hampshire winner if neither Hornaday nor Busch wins Saturday’s race. None of the other 10 previous winners are among currently entered drivers. Kevin Harvick Inc., which will field entries for Hornaday and Kevin Harvick, is the only active owner with more than one victory at NHMS.
