FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT:

RON HORNADAY, JR., NO 33 CAMPING WORLD SILVERADO:

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.”

JACK SPRAGUE, NO. 2 AMERICAN COMMERCIAL LINES SILVERADO:

With Lowe's being a home track for most NASCAR teams, is there added pressure to perform?  “I don’t think there is really any added pressure. It means a lot to win at any track. I have come very close to winning at Lowe’s in both the Truck and Nationwide Series. I think Lowe’s is a fun track that has a lot of unique character. Last year Ron and I were running first and second. I was closing on him and it looked like it would be another classic battle to the finish, unfortunately bad luck struck and I blew a tire going into turn two. Lowe’s is one of those places I would really like to put a tally in the win column.”

Since the grinding of the track surface in 2006, how has Lowe's Motor Speedway changed?  “I really do not think it has changed that much. It is still the same Charlotte it was when we began racing here. There are the bumps in turns three and four and then the track smoothes out going into one and two. I like the bumps. I enjoy the uniqueness of the track. Charlotte is Charlotte and it is a lot of fun racing there. ”
