Hornish seeks first NASCAR top-10 after Texas spin
Sam Hornish Jr. lost control of the No. 77 at Texas Motor Speedway, keeping his NASCAR top series drought alive with a 17th place finish. The former IRL champion, now with Roger Penske, has yet to crack the top 10 in 43 Sprint Cup starts. He notes the switch to stock cars is tougher than expected, especially on longer races and shorter tracks. Texas was a rough test as he adapts to oval racing beyond IndyCar’s feather-light machines.
