100% throttle IndyCar Racing taught Hornish nothing

No one is more surprised than Sam Hornish Jr. that he hasn't had more success in the Sprint Cup Series. Surprised? 100% throttle racing with your car glued to the track teaches a driver nothing. In NASCAR the car slides and moves around and a driver must have good car control. In NASCAR Hornish is a complete backmarker, so what does that tell you?

Hornish, who drives the No. 77 Mobil 1 Dodge Charger, is in his third full season in the Sprint Cup Series.

Hornish, who won a pair of IndyCar Series titles, has yet to win in the series and has just seven top-10 finishes in 75 starts.

It's not exactly the kind of results Hornish became accustomed to when driving Indy cars.

"I could be frustrated with how the last couple of years have gone and I am," he said. "But it has been challenging. It has been everything I kind of wanted it would be. Don't get me wrong, I want to get to the point where we can win."
