Hornish wants to try Daytona 500: Sam Hornish Jr., the defending IRL champ, said Tuesday he might try to qualify for the Daytona 500 in February, driving a Chevy for the Dale Earnhardt Inc. NASCAR team. If the deal with DEI comes to fruition, Hornish said he would drive in selected BGN races in 2003. He could make a second start in Winston Cup next season at the Brickyard 400. But Hornish doesn’t foresee switching gears and leaving Indy cars to compete full time in NASCAR.(Orange County Register), see past news on Hornish and NASCAR on my Drivers Looking/News page.(4th of July 2002)
