Quotes
From
Ron
Hornaday:
On
racing
at
Lowe’s
Motor
Speedway:
“We’ve
had
some
good
races
at
Lowe’s
the
past
couple
of
years.
We
had a
top-five
run
there
in
2006
and
won
last
year.
That
was
the
first
win
for
me
and
Rick
Ren
both
at
that
track.
Lowe’s
is a
lot
like
Atlanta
and
Texas
where
you
can
carry
really
good
speed
out
of
the
turns.
We
have
a lot
of
momentum
going
into
this
race
and
we’re
looking
for
another
strong
run.”
On
the
win
at
Kansas
and
taking
over
the
NTS
points
lead:
“It
was a
lot
of
fun.
I was
going
to
try
and
make
a
race
out
of it
and
Sprague
almost
caught
me.
But
it
was
awesome.
We
unloaded
fast
went
and
sat
on
the
pole
and
ran
out
front
all
day.
We’re
leading
the
points
now
and
that’s
great,
but
we’ve
got
the
whole
season
ahead
of
us.
We
just
have
to
keep
working
hard
and
do
what
we’re
doing
to be
there
at
the
end.”

Quotes
from
Rick
Ren:
On
racing
at
Lowe’s
Motor
Speedway:
“I
really
like
Lowe’s.
I’ve
been
pretty
successful
there
and
finally
got
my
first
win
last
year.
Lowe’s
is so
much
like
Atlanta
and
Texas
and
the
set-up
you
want
at
Lowe’s
is
very
similar
to
what
you
have
the
other
two.
It’s
a
fast
race
track
and
usually
has
great
racing.
Last
year,
we
qualified
decent
and
got
to
the
front
and
just
stayed
there.
It’s
pretty
cool
to
win
at
Lowe’s.”
On
becoming
the
most
winning
active
Truck
Series
crew
chief:
“It’s
a
great
accomplishment
and
it
says
a lot
about
the
drivers
and
teams
that
I’ve
worked
with
in
the
past.
I
didn’t
realize
it
until
one
of my
wife’s
family
members
called
and
said
something
about
it.
When
I
retire,
I’d
like
to be
the
most
winning
crew
chief
in
Truck
Series
history.
I
have
16
wins
right
now,
so I
need
a few
more
before
I can
achieve
that
goal.”
