Hornaday wins at Las Vegas

Ron Hornaday Jr. survived Saturday’s crash-filled Camping World Truck Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and captured his second straight victory.

Hornaday held off Matt Crafton and Timothy Peters in the closing laps for his first win at Las Vegas, fourth this season and the 51st of his career.

“Woo-hoo! I won Vegas!” Hornaday said.

The track was slick due to temperatures in the 90s which attributed to 10 caution flags with one red flag on lap 31 after a four-car pileup.

“There’s some teams out there with more horsepower, but they’re not going to outguess us or out-think us in the pit strategy. I tell you, I didn’t feel it being slick other than (a) 15-lap run.” Hornaday said.

Leaders Austin Dillon and James Buescher had trouble early and Hornaday is now only 21 points out of the series points lead with four races remaining.

Buescher and Blake Feese got together on lap 28. Buescher finished 21st, 40 laps down and drops to third in the standings, seven points out.

Dillon spun into the wall coming around Turn 4 on the third lap. He was able to make repairs and finish 17th and held onto the series points lead over Johnny Sauter by five points.
