Penske undecided on points switch for Hornish
Quote selected text Published November 11th, 2007 in NASCAR News
Team owner Roger Penske said Saturday he hasn’t decided if he’ll move #2-Kurt Busch’s points to Sam Hornish Jr. to guarantee the driver a spot in the first five races of next season. Hornish is leaving the IndyCar Series for a full NASCAR schedule next season, but his #77 Mobil 1 Dodge won’t be one of the 35 cars locked into the first five races of the year. As a former series champion, Busch has a provisional that he could fall back on should he fail to qualify on speed.
“We have a number of options and we’re looking at all of them … we’ll see,” Penske said at Phoenix International Raceway. “This isn’t all about the first five races. This is about a long career for a great race car driver and someone who has delivered for us for a long time at Penske Racing.”
