VIDEO: Truck Series Last Laps At Memphis
The MemphisTravel.com 200 had a new title sponsor this summer, but victory lane looked much the same with Ron Hornaday holding another ‘Elvis’ trophy, for back-to-back wins in Memphis and a solid lock on the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series points race.
Hornaday, who won last week at Milwaukee by leading 180 of 200 laps, started on the pole in Memphis after a qualifying lap of 117.7 mph and led 176 of 200 laps.
A caution with five laps to go cut Hornaday's commanding lead with a restart and a green-white-checker finish. Brian Scott, who led laps 115-134, stayed with Hornaday through much of the first extra period lap, but Hornaday pulled away on the final sweep. Scott, who was racing for the second week with a broken right wrist, finished second, 0.65 seconds behind Hornaday. David Starr finished third, and Aric Almirola was fourth.
