The Proud Owners Kevin and Delana Harvick

I think I might have actually enjoyed the Truck series more than the Cup series the last couple years, and the reason for that is Ron Hornaday! I hate it when people compare drivers to Dale, but this old buddy (and driver) of the Intimidator gives me the enthusiasm and excitement of watching a race that I used to get watching Dale. Ron always gives it his all, sometimes too much of his all, but he's NEVER boring to watch! He won the Championship in 2007, and had it won for 2008 when a bad call on pit road cost him the Championship that he already had in the bag. That was a major letdown, I'm not quite over it yet, but I'm sure I will soon get over it when next season starts and Ron's out there "wowing" us again!

My boy will tell you his favorite driver is Dale Junior, and he's always wearing Dale gear, but the only races he watches from the green flag to the checkers are the one's with Ron Hornaday in them. That's why I love the guy, he always gives it his all and puts on a great show! With the backing he has from future legendary NASCAR owner Kevin Harvick, I foresee at the very least a few more exciting seasons watching Ron. I hope he has no plans to retire soon!
