 LEXINGTON, Ohio (AP) - Sam Hornish Jr. has already exceeded the modest goals he set as a young kid whose biggest dream was to someday drive in an Indianapolis 500. Having won at the Brickyard a year ago, and with three IndyCar Series titles under his racing suit, at the age of 28 he's taking a long, hard look at what he wants to do next and whether it includes a risky jump to NASCAR.
"It's safe to say that the challenge of it intrigues me," Hornish said in the midst of preparations for this week's Honda 200.
Hornish is fifth in the IRL driver standings heading into the race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course — which Hornish first drove on 14 or 15 years ago when he sloshed through a rainy go-kart race. He is financially secure and has a reputation as a dependable, patient and productive driver.
