Hornaday wins Truck Championship - Skinner has bad luck

Ron Hornaday won his third Truck Championship at Homestead in a rather uncharacteristically boring truck race.  Normally, the truck series has the best battles on the track, but long green flag runs and the field being spread out gave the fans a rather boring truck race until the end with the green-white-checkered finish.

Johnny Benson won the race, passing Kyle Busch on the last lap.  Busch tried to give it one last shot by going up high to get some momentum to possibly pass Benson, but it looked like he went too high, got in the loose stuff and brushed the wall.  At least we had a good race to the finish with as boring as the rest of the race was, as I said, very uncharacteristic of the Truck Series.

Mike Skinner went into this race 29 points ahead of Hornaday.  Early in the race he thought he had a tire going down and they changed right side tires under green.  That put him a lap down.  Then green flag pit stops happened and since a few trucks were off sequence, both Skinner and Hornaday found themselves a lap down.  Then the unthinkable happened for Skinner, something didn't feel right and he had a vibration.  While heading down the access road to go to the pits, the left rear hub broke and the tire came off the truck, they had to go behind the wall to fix it and they spent 10 laps behind the wall, which basically put the nail in the coffin for Skinner.

Congrats to Hornaday for winning his third championship.
