Sam Hornish Jr is adamant that he will return to IndyCar racing in the future, despite having turned his back on the IRL for next season. The 28-year-old American, who is the most successful driver in the history of the championship with three titles and 19 wins, including last year’s Indy 500, is leaving single-seaters to race full-time in NASCAR next season.
When asked if he would ever return to IndyCar’s Hornish said:
“I sure hope so. I hope they move the schedule so that somebody could do it. That’s my goal. If I never ran in the Indy 500 again or an IndyCar Series race I would probably say I would be disappointed about that.”
Hornish’s departure to NASCAR, where he will remain with the Penske team with whom he has raced in his last two IndyCar campaigns, will affect the popularity of the series, as the Ohio driver was one of the biggest draws for fans.
