· HORNADAY JR. QUOTES: TALK ABOUT YOUR STREAK.

“I can’t. It’s just so unbelievable what Kevin and Delana [Harvick] has been giving us. The equipment, the people, everything. Everything from Mark Smith’s motors to the fabricators to the guy that sweeps the floors to all the girls in the front office and everything. This is special. Skinner wasn’t going to give it to me.

He put those tires on and what a run. I tell ya, Colin Braun, he definitely had the best truck. He rolled through the center better. I was just taking his line away. I tried everything. We had different leaders here with Todd Bodine and everybody. To race these guys as clean as we raced on a short track here at ORP that just says what this Camping World Truck Series is all about. It was unbelievable. This is cool.”
