The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series returned to Chicagoland Speedway for the first time in 2012 for the American Ethanol 225,
with driver Ron Hornaday still looking to get new team owner Joe Denette his first win in the series. Hornaday fought an ill-handling truck throughout most of the race, eventually finishing 7th. The race was
broadcast live on SpeedTV.
After posting the 19th and 10th fastest times, respectively, in both NCWTS practice sessions on Friday evening, Hornaday set his sights on qualifying Saturday afternoon. The No. 9 Anderson's Maple Syrup Chevrolet
paced the mid-western track in 31.423 seconds (171.849mph), lining him up 14th for the start of the American Ethanol 225. Making his 310th series start, Hornaday battled a loose-handling Chevrolet Silverado throughout
the event to claim the checkered flag while spinning sideways down the front stretch in the seventh position in just his fourth start at Chicagoland Speedway.
In addition to a strong finish, on lap 73 of the 150-lap event, Hornaday completed 50,000 miles of competition in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
