News & Notes - Kentucky Speedway

Hornaday's Kentucky Speedway victory was team's turnaround: In 2006, Ron Hornaday Jr's (#33 Camping World Chevy) victory in the Built Ford Tough 200 ignited a mid-summer hot streak of top-five finishes at Kentucky Speedway, Memphis Motorsports Park and O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis. The two-time champion cooled off a bit in the fall but Hornaday has been a title contender since this year's drop of the green flag at Daytona in February. Second in the standings going into the season's mid-point, Hornaday would like nothing better than to defend his victory and become Kentucky Speedway's first series two-time winner. There's no arguing the turnaround. In 2006, Hornaday was unable to string together more than a trio of top-10 finishes. This season, the 49-year-old California native has been outside the top 10 just once - 11th in Atlanta - and has completed all 2,005 laps run through the first 12 races. Hornaday says a couple of changes at Kevin Harvick Inc. have led to the team's success. "Everyone has put so much effort into the 1.5-mile program," he said. "Kentucky was when we figured out the coil-binding set-up and built some trucks that I was really comfortable in." Harvick also signed veteran crew chief Rick Ren, a 13-time winner with four different teams.
Eight competitors have won last ten 1.5-mile track events: With nine races on 1.5-mile tracks - more than a third of the 2007 schedule - doing well on the intermediate layouts is key to winning the Craftsman Truck Series championship. Beginning in 2000, just two champions - Travis Kvapil (#6 K&N Filters Ford) in 2003 and Ted Musgrave (#9 Team ASE/Germain Toyota) in 2005 - have failed to win at least once on the intermediates. Mike Skinner (#5 Toyota Tundra Toyota), Hornaday and Todd Bodine (#30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota) have captured a combined five wins in the most recent 10 intermediate track races. Each has a 2007 win: Skinner in Atlanta, Hornaday at Lowe's Motor Speedway and Bodine in Texas.
Engineer Ken Woodward sparks success of remade HT Motorsports: It's taken several seasons but HT Motorsports, owned by Virginia's Jim Harris, is on the verge of becoming a top-10 team. Driver Terry Cook (#59 HT Motorsports Toyota) currently ranks 13th in the standings, just 62 points out of 10th. Harris completely remade the team over the off-season, bringing in Bobby Hamilton Racing
