goooooooo hornaday!!

[willracefan]

title number two for harvick tonight! only 3 points back and hornaday only has to finish ahead of benson and lead laps to win it. :D

[RaceFanStan]

It is an extremely tight points race for the Truck Series Championship. :eek:
I'm torn because I like both drivers, Benson has never won a Championship, so I kind of pull for him.
Yet I really appreciate Hornaday's style & attitude, so if he wins it I won't be dissappointed.

Watch the Craftsman Truck Series showdown TONIGHT :
Friday, November 14th
8:00 PM ~ SPEED ~ Craftsman Truck Series Race 25 ~ SEASON FINALE

I'm with you on that, Stan. A series win by either of them wouldn't hurt my feelings but I really hope Ron pulls it off.

I'm pulling for JB...Hornaday is a tool.

Should be a great race tonight, too bad we have to listen to Michael Waltrip up in the booth :mark:

[MD24]

Oh great, now we have to listen to DW in the prerace show.

[tstran17_88]

Oh great, now we have to listen to DW in the prerace show.Lucky us...we got to listen to Jaws for the first half of the race too! I don't mind DW (when he's not singing the praise of Dale Jr & Gordon), but Mikey is annoying.

Today is the first time in my life I’ve been impressed with Hornaday. He was more concerned with congratulating JB after the race then whining about not winning the championship.

And the only time he complained about Scott Speed brake checking him was when TV asked him about it...probably being reluctant to whine since Happy was his wing man early in the race and ran shotgun to him most of the rest of the race...which is way more than Speed did for JB.

Congrats to Johnny Benson on his second Nascar Championship :up:

I was also impressed with Ron Hornaday's interview after the race.

[willracefan]

waltrip says in the booth, "ron shouldnt stay out, he'll lose the championship". :rolleyes: the top three had old tires. he almost jinxed harvick last week when he said kyle busch can still come back and win, and he almost did.

congrats to jb but he wasnt the better driver. :D

[RaceFanStan]

It was a good race & I enjoyed the drama of pit or not pit/2 or 4 tires near the end. :D
And it was good to see Johnny Benson Jr win the 2008 CTS Championship. :D
I thought Kyle Busch would win the race but he fell a few spots short. :s
