Hornaday Wins When Sauter Black-Flagged At Texas NASCAR Trucks Race

FORT WORTH, TX – Ron Hornaday Jr. got his record 48th career NASCAR Trucks Series victory in the caution-filled race at Texas despite crossing the finish line in second place Friday night.

Johnny Sauter took the lead off the final restart with two laps left, but was black-flagged by NASCAR after he dropped from the outside lane to the inside in front of Hornaday before crossing the start-finish line. Sauter was dropped to 22nd place.

Sauter led three times for a race-high 58 laps at the 1½-mile, high-banked Texas track. He appeared to spin his tires on the restart as he dropped down the track.

There were a track-record 10 cautions for 46 laps.
