Hornish Headed Back to Indy?
There's some theories out there that Penske Racing signing David Stremme as its test driver is the start of a domino effect that will find Sam Hornish, Jr. make his way back to Indy Car racing.


 
The possibility was denied by the Penske organization but what else did we expect?


 
While Hornish is in the Top 35 - a measure of mediocre performance that in today's NASCAR gets rewarded with a spot in the next race's field - he's fallen dramatically from where he started the year when Kurt Busch's No. 2 ride points were swapped with the No. 77.


 
Now Hornish is a talented driver and claims he's committed to his new career in stock cars, but deep down, we all know Hornish loves open wheel racing.


 
Sure he accomplished titles and Indy 500 trophies while he was in the IRL, but the watered down open wheel world no doubt played a part in his decision to move to the greener pastures of NASCAR.


 
It's only been two races, but the new era of Indy Car racing is off to a pretty good start and I believe a successful Amercian open wheel world would lure Hornish back - along with Dario Franchitti.


 
So don't read too much into the Stremme signing - for now.
