Ron Hornaday wins Mansfield Craftsman Truck race

The race track at Mansfield, OH is one of those half mile tracks that is very difficult to race on because you can't pass. So pit strategy would be very important. Teammates Todd Bodine-#30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota & Ted Musgrave-#9 ASE Toyota led early. Their strategy was to pit halfway through the 250 lap race. But they lost track position and were never able to get it back. They finished 15th & 16th respectively. Musgrave complained about the track afterwards. He said they shouldn't be racing there.



Ron Hornaday-#33 Kevin Harvick Inc. Chevy led at the halfway point followed by Jack Sprague-#60 Con-Way Freight Toyota & David Starr-#11 Red Horse Racing Toyota. This brought back memories of battles between Hornaday & Sprague from the 90s. Hornaday held off Sprague for the win. Todd Bodine still leads the points race.
