Well, it's good to know that if this IndyCar gig falls apart, and if this Busch series venture doesn't work out, Uncle Sam should be safe making a career out of ARCA racing.
Friday night Sam Hornish Jr started from the pole, encountered some fueling problems somewhat reminiscent of Indy 2006, and worked his way back up to finishing second in the Michigan 200.

Anyhow, congratulations Sam...If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad.
