Quote selected text Published September 19th, 2007 in NASCAR News
Sam Hornish Jr., driver of the #06 Penske Truck Rental Dodge Avenger, will attempt to make his Nextel Cup Series debut at Dover International Speedway on Sunday in the Car of Tomorrow. This is Hornish’s inaugural appearance at the 1-mile concrete oval.
Although Hornish’s 2008 plans have not been finalized, the 28-year-old is determined to qualify for each of the four remaining COT races, including two additional Car of Yesterday events, with Roy McCauley leading the charge.

Good Luck buddy, it is hard to turn big cars with small wings!
This is just the begining! More open wheel drivers will attempt to make it in NASCAR.
Open wheel cars are much more difficult to drive and it takes more skill to do so well.
It is easier to go from open wheel to stock cars then from stock cars to open wheel.
That is why you never see a stock car driver trying to actually go fast. It hurts their ego…..

I think JG did pretty well with only a few laps under his belt in Montoyas car.
Robbie Gordon
Tony Stewart
Robby and Tony were both open wheelers before they started driving tin tops. Sure Gordon did well, he wasn’t racing with anyone…
