2019 Robby Gordon Headquarters

Jayski reporting that Sam Hornish may be headed back to the IRL.
Maybe Robby should sit down with with The Captain about teaming up for '09.

IF he goes back, and that is a big IF I would think the dinger would be the top canidate for that ride, if Penske continues to field 3 teams

Roger already said that he is 100% comitted to Sam for 2009 in the Cup series. They talked to Roger for 10 minutes on nascar raceday yesterday. Also Sams spotter has confirmed all is set for 2009.

Roger tends to be straight up. I'll go with that.
He and Robby should still talk.
It's painfully obvious that 1 and two car teams are destined to be backmarkers.
I've even read commentary that 3 car teams will find it difficult.

Sam's not going anywhere, he didn't win 2 IRL championships and the most races by quitting halfway thru the learning curve.

Honestly Sam hasn't done that bad for a guy in his rookie year with very limited stock car experience on a first year team. The best thing Roger could do is stick with him for at the very least 1 more year. Look at how long it took the dinger to catch on, now at the end of year 2 it looks like he has a big upside as opposed to the end of year 1.

Penske knew this season was just a throw-away season. He knew that Sam needed to go get some experience and the second season hopefully the team chemistry would be good enough to compete at the level he should be able to.

I believe this rumor has started because the captain may have no choice but to put someone else in Helio's car if he goes to jail, which is very possible right now. It doesn't look good for him right now, if convicted he is at the least going serve some time even if it is a short stay ...... Sam may be the one that keeps the IRL Team on top

I think it's pretty much set that Helio will be ok for 2009 but after that it's doubtful. I say Roger gives it one more year and then if progress isn't made, Sam is back to the IRL an Helio is in jail.

Once the new package arrives in IndyCar, and with all of the road/street courses added to the schedule,its not like he would be much of a threat in IndyCar at that point.
Hornish wants to be in Cup. Penske is smitten with him. He'll be in Cup.
