Johnny Sauter held off Ron Hornaday on Sunday at Kansas Speedway to win a wild race after hard rain along with hail stopped the race and both drivers make miraculous saves to finish 1-2.
Pole sitter Hornaday was trying to make the pass for the lead with 13-laps to go. Hornaday got loose and came up the track into the side of Sauter. Both trucks spun sideways into almost 45-degree slides at over 150 mph and both drivers were able to save their trucks and go on without NASCAR having to throw a caution flag.
The save all but ruined his worn-down rear left tire of Hornaday and Sauter was able to pull away after the spin. This was Sauter’s first win at Kansas and his second career truck series win. “That’s unbelievable stuff right there.” Sauter said.
“That’s the way you’re supposed to race. That’s what truck racing is all about.” said Hornaday.
Sauter is also the 10th different race winner in 10 races at Kansas Speedway.
Todd Bodine finished third, Brian Ickler fourth and Johnny Benson finished fifth. Timothy Peters finished 23rd and holds a 22-point lead over Bodine.
