So now it’s “officially official”… 2006 Indy 500 Winner and 3-time IndyCar Series Champion Sam Hornish Jr. is off to try his hand at NASCAR. This photo was taken as Sam sped away on the back of a golf cart, shortly after winning the 2006 Indy 500 and finishing with the media. Somehow it seemed apropos for the news. There are a lot of different viewpoints on this whole deal and they’re all just a few clicks away on a countless number of internet message boards. But I guess all I have to say is “Good luck Sam… thanks for the memories, and maybe we’ll see you at the Brickyard in July!”
