Ron Hornaday Sr., a two-time NASCAR West Coast champion and patriarch of the West Coast racing Hornaday family, has died of cancer. He was 77.
Hornaday, who died Sunday in his native California, was the father Ron Hornaday Jr. who won three NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series titles. His grandson Ronnie continued the family tradition in 1999, making his NASCAR debut at the age of 19.
“Our father was the inspiration to all of us and was a true champion to the very end,” Hornaday Jr. said in a statement posted on his web site. “We will miss him so very much but it is a comfort to know that he is now with his beloved wife and our mother, Helen, where he wanted to be.”
