BURLINGTON, WI (Wednesday, July 1, 2009) - Ron Hornaday Jr. is on a roll as he has won the last two NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races at Milwaukee and this past weekend in Memphis. He is hoping that winning streak continues as he will join the American Speed Association Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment this Friday Night as he will compete in the Keith Fleck Miller 100 at Hawkeye Downs Speedway in Cedar Rapids, IA.

"I can't think of a better short track series in the country, their competition is so darn tough, and when I come in to run with those guys I know I have my work cut out,” Hornaday recently stated. “I have a lot of fun running in the ASA Midwest Tour, its so relaxing to go up there and just have some fun. But, trust me, I am there to win!”

This will be the third time that the four-time NASCAR Camping World Series champion will be running with the ASAMT. In 2007, he competed in two events with the Super Late Model series. He finished third at the July Spectacular 100 at I-94 Raceway and finished 23rd in the Dixieland 150 at Wisconsin International Raceway in Kaukauna, WI after falling out with mechanical problems.

“Ron is a tough competitor and loves the tough competition that the ASAMT provides,” Steve Einhaus, ASAMT Vice President stated. “He is coming to Hawkeye Downs on a roll right now and I know he wants to keep his winning streak going. He will be facing some tough Super Late Model competition and I know he looking forward to some hard short track racing action.”

Joining the ASAMT Super Late Models will be the Hawkeye Downs Modifieds and Hornet divisions.
