Ron Hornaday, Jr. drives for Kevin Harvick Racing with sponsorship from Safety-Kleen. On Saturday, he set a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series record by winning his fourth consecutive race at O'Reilly Raceway Park. Hornaday outran Mike Skinner, another Safety-Kleen driver to score the win. The race was a great battle of NASCAR Truck stars. Todd Bodine and Kyle Busch were in the mix, but Bodine over drove a corner and spun and Busch used up his tires and dropped back. But all contenders fell to mega horsepower under the hood of Hornaday's Chevy. The fans at ORP were all on their feet as battle for the win came down to Hornaday and Skinner running each other as hard as they could in the closing lap. The preferred line was on the bottom of the track, but Skinner just didn't have enough for Hornaday at the flag. Aric Almirola, making a rare start in the Truck Series, came from a lap down to finish third. Dennis Setzer was fourth with Colin Braun fifth. Hornaday extended his points lead to 174 over Skinner, who took over second in the standings from Safety-Kleen's Matt Crafton.
