Joe Denette Motorsports (JDM), a rookie team in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS), is pleased to announce that four- timeseries champion, Ron Hornaday, Jr., will pilot the No. 9 Chevrolet powered by Pro Motor Engines for the 2012 campaign. Hornaday will be joined at JDM with veteran crew chief, Jeff Hensley.
“We are proud to have a champion like Ron Hornaday joining our team,” stated Joe Denette, Owner of Joe Denette Motorsports. “It’s not every day that a young organization gets the opportunity to bring a veteran driver, like Hornaday, on board. He will bring a lot of experience and an entirely new dimension to our team. We are dedicated to winning races and contending for a championship in 2012, and we think our decision to bring (Ron) Hornaday and (Jeff) Hensley to JDM shows that commitment.”
Hornaday, a 14-year veteran of the series, has an impressive 51 victories, 27 pole awards, 146 top-five and 208 top-10 finishes on his racing resume.
“I’m very excited for the opportunity to work with JDM next season,” stated Hornaday. “This is a young team and they have put a lot of the right people in place to win races and compete for a championship in 2012. I’m honored to continue my relationship with Chevrolet and I’m looking forward to a successful 2012 season.”
A sponsorship announcement for Hornaday and the No. 9 JDM entry will be forthcoming in the following weeks.
JDM also plans to run a second entry in 2012 for selected events.
