Hornish Among 45 Drivers Set for Busch Test at LVMS
Hornish, who finished a then career best third in the 2000 Vegas Indy 300 Indy Racing League event at LVMS, will test on Tuesday, Feb. 6. Teammate Kurt Busch will test the car on Monday, Feb. 5.
“I’m excited to test at Las Vegas Motor Speedway,” Hornish said. “Kurt and Ryan (Newman) tested their Nextel Cup cars last week and, as I understand it, the changes made to the track have made it especially fast. I have not turned a lap at LVMS in a stock car, but having an experienced driver like Kurt will certainly help my education.”
Australian Marcos Ambrose, former Formula I driver Juan Pablo Montoya and two-time Sam’s Town 300 winner Jeff Burton also are scheduled to test.
The speedway’s grandstands will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.
A complete list of drivers scheduled for the test is as follows:
