Hornish not jumping
Roger Penske said Indianapolis 500 winner Sam Hornish Jr., 26, isn't headed to NASCAR anytime soon, even though the driver harbors some stock car aspirations. Penske said Hornish's contract of undisclosed length calls for him to be an open-wheel driver.
"You just can't jump in the 2 car [of Kurt Busch], the 12 car [Ryan Newman] or the 24 car [Jeff Gordon] and think you're going to win,'' Penske said. "There's no way. You have to have a program set up.''
Penske said he and Hornish will talk about considering a run at NASCAR some day, but that day is a way's off.

"We want a different formula in which engine power is limited by the amount of energy consumed,'' he said.
