Defending NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Champion Ron Hornaday Jr. scored a dominating victory in Saturday night’s O’Reilly 200 at Memphis Motorsports Park, race No. 12 of 25 on the season.

Hornaday led all but 65 laps on the night, and in the process reclaimed the series points lead over Johnny Benson, who broke a motor midway through the race after running strong early on. Hornaday easily bested Erik Darnell, Matt Crafton and Rick Crawford to seal the deal in a green-white-checkered finish.

Benson took the lead on the opening lap, his Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Toyota Tundra holding off the Zaxby’s Ford F-150 of second-qualifier Bobby East. Defending series champion Ron Hornaday Jr. took over the second spot on Lap 2, quickly moving his Camping World Chevrolet Silverado around
East.

Todd Bodine spun on Lap 7 to bring out Caution No. 1, his Lumber Liquidators Tundra tangling with Donny Lia’s TRG Motorsports Chevrolet in Turn 3. Neither truck was seriously damaged.

The track went green on Lap 12 and Hornaday immediately challenged Benson for the lead, but the Toyota held the point, with Hornaday’s Kevin Harvick Inc. teammate Jack Sprague third in the No. 2 American Commercial Lines Chevy.

Caution No. 2 flew for debris on Lap 35. Ted Musgrave, who was running in the top 15 in his Team ASE/Harris Trucking Toyota, led a group of about 10 trucks down pit road for fuel, tires and adjustments. Justin Marks got the Lucky Dog in his Construct Corps/crocs Toyota, putting 29 trucks on the lead lap.

The order when the track went green on Lap 40 was Benson, Hornaday, Sprague, Erik Darnell in the No. 99 Northern Tool + Equipment Ford and Rick Crawford’s Circle Bar Truck Corral/Power Stroke Diesel Ford F-150.
