Ron Hornaday Jr. and Kyle Busch shared the spotlight today at a combined NCWTS and NASCAR Nationwide banquet at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel.
Hornaday received his fourth championship ring in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, joining Ruchard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, and Jimmie Johnson as the only four-time champions in NASCAR’s three national series.
Matt Crafton, Mike Skinner, Todd Bodine and Colin Braun were second through fifth in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series standings, and joined Hornaday on stage.
Two other truck series drivers took home honors today. Johnny Sauter claimed the Raybestos Rookie of the Year honor for the truck series. Ricky Carmichael, who had to come from the back of the pack after going to a backup following a qualifying spin, was unveiled as the Most Popular Driver for the NCWTS after the nascar.com fan vote was tallied.
Busch received his first NASCAR championship ring for his Nationwide No. 18 endeavor. He was joined by Carl Edwards, Keselowski, Jason Leffler and Mike Bliss who finished second through fifth in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.
The Nationwide series Raybestos Rookie of the Year was Justin Allgaier, while Brad Keselowski took the Most Popular Driver vote.
NCWTS regulars, Rick Allen and Krista Voda from NASCAR on SPEED, served as hosts of the event. Fans will get the chance to watch the NASCAR Nationwide Series/NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Awards Banquet will air, December 4 from 7-9 p.m. ET on SPEED. It is just before the live telecast of the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards Ceremony from Las Vegas.
