Celebrate Veterans Day at PIR with KHI and VFW: Phoenix International Raceway (PIR), Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI) and the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States (VFW) have united in a unique partnership that will celebrate the accomplishments and bravery of current and veteran armed forces personnel. In August, KHI co-owners Kevin and DeLana Harvick visited a Glendale, Arizona-area VFW post as part of a Military Appreciation event sponsored by all three entities that included a barbecue lunch and autographs from Kevin Harvick for all who attended. PIR will celebrate veterans during pre-race activities prior to Friday night's Lucas Oil 150 NASCAR Truck Series race. PIR is also offering a special ticket package for the Lucas Oil 150. For $95, ticket buyers will receive one grandstand ticket to the race, admission to VFW's hospitality event (food and drinks included) and a pre-race pit pass to be used prior to Friday night's race. Tickets can be purchased by visiting www.phoenixinternationalraceway.com.

Hornaday piloted the No. 33 VFW Chevrolet Silverado at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway in the Spring, O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis, Nashville (Tenn.) Superspeedway, two weeks ago at Atlanta Motor Speedway and last week at Texas Motor Speedway.

From The Driver's Seat - Quotes From Ron Hornaday: "I have been pretty successful at Phoenix International Raceway over the years. I have had a lot of great races there and have two wins there, in 1998 and 1999. It's a flat race track for the most part. It has a little more banking in turns one and two than in turns three and four. We have been really good this year on the flatter, shorter tracks. We've won at Memphis, Gateway and New Hampshire and all of those are a mile or half-mile tracks. We have the same truck that we won back-to-back races with at Gateway and New Hampshire, and I think that it will be good at Phoenix."

Atop The Pit Box - Quotes From Rick Ren: "We ran well last year at Phoenix. We had a really good truck, led some laps and finished second. This is a big race for us and we're going to have to be on our game to get Ron out front and keep him out front. We have had really good pit stops lately and we just need to keep it up and stay focused. We have a really good truck for Phoenix. It's a proven truck and we won both races that we ran it in. We know what we have to do to win this championship and we are up to the challenge."

Chassis No. 027 to Make Third Start: Chassis No. 027 has been chosen to be Ron Hornaday's primary truck for this weekend's Lucas Oil 150 at Phoenix International Raceway. In the truck's two-race history, Hornaday has driven it to back-to-back wins at Gateway (Ill.) International Raceway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Previous Race Recap: Ron Hornaday and the Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI) No. 33 overcame mid-race adversity after a caution came out as they were on pit road, putting them on the tail end of the lead lap, to win their sixth race of the season.
