Ron Hornaday Jr. Named 2009 Camping World Truck Series Champion!

Copart, Inc. (NASDAQ: CPRT), a leading online vehicle auction, is proud to announce that Ron Hornaday Jr. has been named the 2009 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Champion! Hornaday raced for Copart five times during his championship season and went to Victory Lane once wearing Copart blue.

"Congratulations to Ron Hornaday for a fantastic season!” said Copart President Jay Adair. "Copart is proud to be part of his amazing year on the track. Ron has been a great representative for our company this year, and a great champion.”

Hornaday clinched the title in Phoenix Nov. 13 after coming in fourth. Hornaday has a total of 3,817 points for the season, with Matt Crafton second with 3,602 points. However, with only one race to go in Homestead Nov. 20 and only 195 possible points per race, Crafton will not be able to catch Hornaday – making Hornaday the winner. Todd Bodine, who Copart sponsored for 11 races this season, is fourth in the standings going to Homestead.

"It takes a lot of people to accomplish something like this, all these team guys and everyone back at the shop,” said Hornaday. "I just want to thank everyone who has been a part of making this happen this year ... (including) Copart ... It is unbelievable. This is a lot of fun.”

Hornaday, 51, is the oldest champion in NASCAR history and the first driver in Truck Series history to win four titles. He also won in 1996, 1998 and 2007. He is also only the second driver to clinch the Truck Series championship before the season finale (Greg Biffle was the first in 2000).

This season, Hornaday also broke a record by being the first driver to ever win five consecutive races in the truck series. He’s only the third driver to ever do so in any of NASCAR’s three national touring series. Hornaday also won the Copart Challenge of Champions this year, a contest between him and Bodine to see who could rack up the most driver points while wearing a Copart suit over a series of races.

This is the first year Copart has been a sponsor in NASCAR, and the company has taken advantage of the sport to get its name out to NASCAR fans as a great place to find vehicles. Copart has enhanced its website to make it easier to search for and view vehicles offered at www.copart.com.

Copart sells more than 1 million cars per year and has more than 50,000 vehicles each day to choose from including classics, early and late model cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, boats, snowmobiles, jet skis and recreational vehicles. Copart sells vehicles in an online auction, in which people bid against each other to get a great deal. The highest bidder wins the auction.

"We like to say at Copart that winning is awesome – and Ron proved just that!” said Adair.
