Penske says Hornish will be back in 2011:

  • Penske Racing owner Roger Penske said he plans to have Sam Hornish Jr. return to the organizations Sprint Cup stable in 2011. A three-time Indy Racing League champion, Hornish is in his third full season in the series and the last year of his contract. To re-sign Hornish, Penske would need to find a sponsor. Mobil, which sponsors Hornish, is looking for another team to sponsor after Penske signed a deal with Shell/Pennzoil to sponsor driver Kurt Busch. ‘Our plan is to run three cars next year and Sam is in that program,’ Penske said. ‘Were planning on it. ‘¦ Sam has been with us, he won the Indy 500 with us, he came over here, hes endured and hes run better than his points position.’(SceneDaily)(4-26-2010)
