Sam Hornish Jr. says he’s passing on the Indianapolis 500.
Hornish’s plans were the subject of much speculation after owner Roger Penske entered a No. 77 car in the Indy 500 – and didn’t say who would be driving it. Hornish, a former Indy 500 winner, is in his first NASCAR season after leaving the Indy Racing League.
On Friday, he said it’s not feasible to drive in both the Indy 500 and NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600. Both races are May 25.
Hornish: ‘I’m a stock car driver’
