Winning streak equals NASCAR mark last set in 1971
GLADEVILLE, Tenn. -- Ron Hornaday moved higher into the NASCAR record book alongside some famous company Saturday in the Toyota Tundra 200, becoming the third driver to win five consecutive races in a national series and the first in 38 years.
Hornaday joined Richard Petty and Bobby Allison, who both did it in 1971 in the Cup Series, in a tie for second on the all-time consecutive win list. Petty holds the all-time record with 10 in a row in 1967.
"That's unheard of in this time and age," Hornaday said. "Five, can you believe that?"
Hornaday led 115 of 154 laps in the Kevin Harvick Inc. Chevrolet. It was his sixth victory of the season and 45th of his Truck Series career, first on the all-time list.
It was Hornaday's first win in 13 NASCAR races at the 1.33-mile concrete-surfaced track, five in Trucks and eight in the Nationwide Series. He has long coveted winning Nashville's trademark trophy, a Gibson guitar painted by artist Sam Bass.
"I finally got me a Sam Bass guitar," Hornaday said.
