Chasing down Marco Andretti during the final yards of the 2006 Indy 500, Hornish swept past the son of racing royalty to win by about a car length, the distinct rumble of the yard of bricks under his wheels at the finish line telling Hornish he’d finally captured the most-coveted title in open-wheel racing. Hornish still has a realistic shot at catching Regan Smith for rookie of the year honors after this win. However, all will not be well even after this fairy tale win because the driver returns to familiar territory for Sunday’s Brickyard 400 in an unfamiliar position - struggling to find the magic that seemed to flow so easily during Hornish’s dominant open-wheel career for team owner Roger Penske. Despite this, Hornish looks forward to the race for which tickets are selling out fast.

Racing Prodigy Joey Logano might be the possible replacement for No. 20 Sprint Cup car’s driver Tony Stewart from the next Sprint Cup Series.

Busch said that he lost count on the number of times he ramped into the side walls of the track and appreciated the efforts of the team for building his car as strong as it was the other night. The hatred that the NASCAR driver Busch had garnered during the last race at Richmond did not deter his determination of wining the Darlington race in spite of the crowd booing him for the entire length of the race.
