Jennifer Jo Cobb joins Austin Dillon and Ron Hornaday Jr as drivers to watch in 2010

Camping World Truck Series rookie, Jennifer Jo Cobb, is scheduled to run in the No. 10 truck for the 2010 season and was voted as a leading candidate for the Rookie of the Year honors this season.

Ron Hornaday Jr. was voted to make history in 2010 by members of the media in this year’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series pre-season poll. Hornaday took home a record fourth series championship in 2009 and is picked to join Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt as NASCAR national series competitors with five titles.

Hornaday made history in 2009 as NASCAR’s oldest national champion at age 51. He would become the first driver in the 16 years of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series to win back-to-back championships.

“We are not going to go out there and race for second, that’s for sure, but I’m honored that they’ve chose me out of the other competitive teams in the series. We are going to do what we have to do to keep their prediction true,” said Hornaday, a 45-time winner in the series.

Austin Dillon was tapped to become the series’ second-youngest Raybestos Rookie of the Year, at age 19. Dillon, a North Carolina college student, will drive the historic No. 3 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet for his grandfather, Richard Childress. The team, with Mike Skinner behind the wheel, won the series’ first championship in 1995, and returns to full-time NASCAR Camping World Truck competition after a decade-long absence.

Runner-up in the rookie balloting was 2009 Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) champion Justin Lofton, followed by Jennifer Jo Cobb and Dillon Oliver.
