Indianapolis Star: Hornish not happy with IRL
Sam Hornish Jr. speaks his mind about as candidly as he has about things in the IRL since his flirtation with taxicabs.
He says he hasn't been in a good mood since Watkins Glen, et al ...
Says Mr. Hornish, "It seems like I'm the first guy (in the IRL) to get an example made of me. I like driving (these cars), and I like being competitive on the road courses, but . . . I don't know ... I guess you're going to have to (come to) NASCAR races to find out if I'm in any better of a mood over there."
Still says his mind isn't made up. But you can read between the lines ... start buying Mobil 1 No. 37 merchandise, Sam fans, and get ready for Ryan Briscoe in the 6 car. Losing Sam would be the biggest blow for the IRL since Tony Stewart's defection -- a home-grown American star.
But there's still Danica, right?
Anyway, Brian Barnhart also tells Helio & TK to "knock it off" with their on-track duels.
