Ron Hornaday plans to keep on trucking.

The four-time NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion has reached a multiyear contract agreement to remain with Kevin Harvick Inc. Hornaday will continue to drive the No. 33, in which he has won two of his titles, for KHI in 2011.

"We are very excited and proud to have Ron Hornaday back behind the wheel of the No. 33 truck," said KHI co-owner Kevin Harvick. "Ron has been an integral part of our Truck series program since he joined KHI in 2005. He has driven our organization to two Truck series championships, and I firmly believe that we will continue to compete for Truck series championships with Hornaday as our driver."

Hornaday, 52, is in his sixth full season of competition with the organization. He has 273 starts in the series overall and is its winningest driver with 47 victories. Hornaday won Truck titles in 1996, 1998, 2007 and 2009. He is seventh in the standings with two races to go this season.

"I couldn't be happier to be back driving for KHI in 2011," said Hornaday. "I can't thank (team owners) Kevin and DeLana (Harvick) enough for the opportunities that they have given me over the past six years. We've had a lot of success together in the Truck series. This season hasn't been exactly what we wanted, but that just gives me more drive than ever to go after a fifth Truck series championship with the No. 33 team in 2011."

Program details regarding sponsorship of the No. 33 Chevrolet Silverado will be announced at a later date.
