As president of Penske Racing, Tim Cindric presides over an empire that operates out of a complex that is over 400,000 square feet in Mooresville, N.C., and requires an annual influx of roughly $100 million to remain competitive in a total of four racing series. This season, they’ve done so to a high level across the board. Cindric talked about that and a variety of topics with NASCAR.COM. A couple Q & A’s about #77-Sam Hornish Jr.
Q: What do you foresee happening with the 77?
Cindric: Right now we’re still in search of a primary sponsor for that car. That search will continue for the rest of the year. The good news is that it’s September and not December.
Q: What does that mean for Hornish? Will he be back for sure?
Cindric: I wouldn’t say anything is for sure. You can’t race without the funding. So as we sit right now, we’re collectively trying to do that — but we also understand that if there are opportunities for him, it’s an open book as far as communication. We’re certainly not going to stand in his way as far as furthering his career, but we’d certainly like for him to be able to continue with us.(NASCAR.com)(9-15-2010)
