Hornish Jr. to Drive Mobil 1 Dodge in Seven NBS Races in 07
“Sam Hornish Jr. is a talented driver and ExxonMobil hopes that with our support and the support of the Penske team, Sam will reach his goals in the Busch Series this year,” said Juan Carlos Marroquin, Americas marketing manager, ExxonMobil Lubricants & Petroleum Specialties Company. “The Mobil 1 brand was featured on Sam’s car when he made his 2006 debut in the Busch Series, and we’re excited to see what the 2007 racing season has in store.”
“Thanks to Penske and ExxonMobil, I was able to make my NASCAR debut in the Mobil 1 Dodge at the end of the 2006 Busch Series season, and I learned a lot,” said Hornish. “This year I look forward to the challenge of competing in the Busch Series and defending my IndyCar Series title at the same time.”
Hornish will compete full-time in the IndyCar Series with hopes of securing a second Indy 500 win and a fourth IndyCar Series Championship in 2007. Hornish’s 2007 Busch Series schedule will not conflict with his IndyCar commitments.
