First career Truck Series start for Robby Gordon (13th). 4. Anonymous posted: 12.31.2006 - 4:10 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) The only race in 1996 where Ron Hornaday DIDN'T finish in the top 10. 5.

I can't stand the guy, but I gotta admit, he's a good driver, at least in the Truck Series, maybe Busch, but he ain't worth beans in Cup. 8.

When the best team that you ever drive a season for is AJ Foyt, I guess you wouldn't be "worth beans". Too bad he didn't get handed Roush Racing equipment like Greg Biffle has had throughout his entire career. 9.

He didn't race in the pickups again until the 2005 season finale at Homestead when he was already planning on moving to series and away from Cup in a deal that didn't pan out. 15. 83andJoe posted: 07.06.2013 - 1:09 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Order of DNQs: #23, #12, #0, #71, #90, #25, #81, #04, #1, #89, #54, #32, #91, #82, #11, #63, #50, Clark 16. 83andJoe posted: 07.06.2013 - 3:17 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) #15 sponsor: HQ Home Quarters Warehouse/Hechinger #31 sponsor: Concor Tool & Machine First caution: competition Second caution: #7 stopped on track Third caution: #41, #15 accident turn 1 Fourth caution: #53 spin turn 2 Fifth caution: #3, #33 accident turn 3 Sixth caution: #33 accident turn 3 Seventh caution: #9 blown engine Eighth caution: #16 spin turn 4 Ninth caution: #42 spin turn 4 17. 83andJoe posted: 07.06.2013 - 2:38 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) DNQ teams: #0: Mansion Motorsports Ford (Thee Dixon) #12: Blake Racing Chevrolet (Bob Blake) #23: J & H Carlectibles Chevrolet (T.J.

He spun and proceeded to blame Skinner, who for once, had nothing to do with the accident. Classic asshole Hornaday here. 22.

MacDonald, fresh off his failed Winston Cup Rookie of the Year bid earlier in the year, would later become a regular in the Truck series in the early 2000s. 25.
