Three-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion Ron
Hornaday will be appearing at the Motorsports 2008 Race Car Show
presented by VP Racing Fuels at the Atlantic City, NJ Convention
Center.
Hornaday, who nosed out Mike Skinner by just 54 points in the
final event of the season at Homestead-Miami Speedway, will be
visiting with fans and signing autographs twice during the three
day show that runs from Friday, January 18th through Sunday,
January 20th.
The former Californian will sign autographs from 2 pm to 4 pm
on Saturday, January 19th and then will return to sign
autographs on Sunday, January 20th from 12 noon until 2 pm.
Hornaday has been part of the Craftsman Truck Series since
its inception and also won the championship in 1996, driving for
Dale Earnhardt Inc. and then again in 1998 also for DEI.
The 49-year-old racer has also dabbled in Nextel Cup and
Busch Series racing but his real success has come in the
Craftsman Trucks earning more than $5.2 million during his Truck
racing career.
The three Truck championships now give Hornaday five NASCAR
titles as he also has won two NASCAR Southwest Tour
championships.
At the recent awards banquet honoring him as the champion
Hornaday told the attendees, “I hope this proves that I can
still get it done. When I drive and get behind the wheel of
Kevin and Delana’s truck (the Harvicks own the Chevy Silverado
driven by Hornaday), it made me feel like I was an 18 or 19 year
old kid. I just enjoy it, it is so much fun and I have a grin
every lap.”
Hornaday’s winnings for the 2007 season set a single season
record for the Craftsman Trucks with $1,137,044 earned including
point fund money and special awards.
Hornaday will be joining a long list of racers and
personalities that will be part of the annual Motorsports show.
The 23rd annual Len Sammons Productions Motorsports Race Car
Show has
something for everyone in the sport and so much more. Race
enthusiasts will
again be able to enjoy the Motorsports show by day and see live
auto racing
events during the evening.
Indoor auto racing featuring the “Gambler’s Classic”
presented by Pepsi Three-Quarter Midgets/600cc Micro Sprints
will be the attraction at the Boardwalk Hall, located four
blocks from the Convention Center, on January 18 and 19.
Additional details regarding Motorsports 2008 and the
Gambler’s Classic
indoor auto racing events will be announced as they are
finalized.
