Hornish, Franchitti  drop out of top 35 in NASCAR points

Despite being the highest finishing rookie in the race, Sam Hornish Jr.’s team has slipped out of the top 35 in points with Bristol coming up next. That’s not good news for the Indy 500 winner who is trying his best to make it as a stock car driver. Also out of the top 35: Dave Blaney, Dario Franchitti, Carpentier, Regan Smith, Kyle Petty and Joe Nemechek. They will all now have a hard time making the race each weekend.
