Ronnie Hornaday lll could hardly wait to start his racing career and follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather.  As a boy he looked forward to watching his father race at the, now defunct, Saugus Speedway.  He would also hang around the garage at home and learn all he could about the mechanics of a race car and the business of auto racing.

When he turned 16 years old, Three started racing at Kern County Speedway (Calif) in 1995 in a #97 Camaro Street Stock.  His only crew members were his cousin, who helped him fix the car on pit stops and his Grandfather, who was his crew chief.  He finished 2nd in points that year and won Rookie of the Year honors. The following year, young Hornaday moved east to be with his
parents.  He took a job as a crew member on Dale Earnhardt Junior's Late Model car, meanwhile continuing to learn everything  he could about race car mechanics.  A year later, he started racing a #97 Late Model at Caraway Speedway NC.

A few years later, he joined his now famous father on the Truck Series tour for five races in 1999. His best finish (16th) that year came at  the always challenging Nazareth Speedway in Pennsylvania. Although hampered by lack of sponsorship in the following years, he is still passionate about racing and is considered, by those who view his driving style on the track, a levelheaded smart racer. In 2000, in his only race that year, he finished 23rd at the season finale at California Speedway. The following year, his sole race came during Daytona Speedweeks, where he finished 21st with motor problems.

When not behind the wheel, Ronnie can be found working under the hood.  Due to his years of diligent study of the craft, there's not too this young man doesn't know about working on a race car.  He is able to hang sheet metal, build gears, work on shocks and pretty much build a race truck from the ground up on his own. He is currently taking an intent interest in advanced shock technology and plans to make that his next area of study.

Ronnie Three states" My father always said ‘If you learn to work on these cars, it will make you a better driver'. So to this day I still live by those words and learn all I can" Three likes building his own race cars, working on the engine and helping the guys on the crew when he races.

When not racing Ronnie works as a crew member for the No. 2 NCTS Team ASE Dodge with Jimmy Spencer. He has also recently signed a deal to become Dodge’s test driver. His young daughter Lacey is the apple of his eye and she is her dad's number one fan.
