The team announced today that Hornaday
“has been released of his driving duties” following a crash in Friday night’s race
at Phoenix International Raceway.
"We at NTS Motorsports
appreciate everything Ron has done this year to help build NTS Motorsports in
its first year competing at the national level in NASCAR," said team owner
Bob Newberry. "Ron has been a great asset to our organization and we wish
him the best in his future endeavors."
Hornaday
is expected to drive for Turner Scott Motorsports in next weekend’s season
finale at Homestead Miami Speedway. His 28th-place finish Friday leaves
him 11th in championship points, with four Top-5 and nine Top-10 finishes this season. Sources say there has been tension within the team since Hornaday crashed with teammate Brennan Newberry -- son of the team owner -- at Las Vegas Motor Speedway last month.
His
replacement in the No. 9 NTS Motorsports truck will be announced this week.
thats messed up he was driving junk thats why go ron
ReplyDeleteHe counterfeited himself when he crashed Bubba Wallace. The handwriting was on the wall then ......
ReplyDeleteBlood is thicker than water. At least Ron has a ride for the last race.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Ron will be back in quality equipment
ReplyDeleteRon will get to drive a Hendrick Powered Truck, did he loose on his end? Not at all! NTS has not been a shining star in the series, it is easy to see the agenda there.
ReplyDeleteI won't say Brennan Newberry is not a qualified driver but he has not shown anything more then any other driver put in a race truck/car by his dad that came before him. It is amazing how this new breed of owners with agendas can take a race team that won and performed well and turn it into an also ran in a season or 2.
