Whenever the driver Sam Hornish Jr. pondered switching from the IndyCar Series to Nascar, he would put together a list of pros and cons to help make the decision. For years, the cons always won and Hornish stayed loyal to the open-wheel series. But amid reports that he will go full-time in NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series next season, after eight years and three championships in the IndyCar Series, Hornish said yesterday that he was still hesitating. Hornish said he continued to weigh the desire for a new challenge against the difficulty of the transition to a league with 36 races a year, where competition is heated among drivers just trying to make the field every week. The IndyCar Series is much less hectic, with 17 races and no concerns about failing to qualify for a race

In other words, Nascar is tough. :D

But we all knew that, didn't we. :D
 
I guess he has been watching JPM and seeing what Nascar is doing to him. LOL

Jeez, I think that there are a few, if not a lot of regular Cup drivers who would love to be in the position that JPM is in. I'm not fan of JPM, but his standing in the series is not chopped liver. If only Sam could accomplish what JPM has in so many races.
 
Sam is a family man and likes his time at home and with friends and neighbors back home.

Hard to give up that freedom for the 24/7 world of Nascar. Knowing the type of person that he is, it will be a difficult decision for him to make.

You are so right, Guido. The NASCAR schedule is long and arduous.

Virtually giving up your family life would be a tough decision. Glad I don't have to make it.
 
Jeez, it isn't as though they can't have family in their motorcoaches and I personally only get 3 weeks vacation time a per year. How much do they get?
 
I'm not so sure about that. Though I'm not a fan of any kind of JPM, he has shown so much raw tallent that he looks like a natural in a stocker in less than a full season. I've not seen Sam race all that much, but what I have seen shows that he too can wheel a stocker but we can only see who's better if he, Sam, decides to give the NASCAR circuit a real shot.
