FAIRFAX, VA -- ExxonMobil's Mobil 1 brand will be featured on the car of 2006 Indianapolis 500 winner and three-time IndyCar Series champion Sam Hornish Jr., as he attempts to qualify for the NASCAR Busch Series race at Phoenix International Raceway on Nov. 11 and the season-ending NASCAR Busch Series event at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Nov. 18.
Hornish, the driver with the most wins in IndyCar Series history, is the only driver to win three IndyCar Series Championships (2001, 2002 and 2006). He has competed at Phoenix International Raceway (PIR) and Homestead-Miami Speedway six times each, and visited victory lane twice at PIR (2001 and 2005) and three times at Homestead-Miami Speedway (2001, 2002 and 2004).
In 2007, Penske Racing will expand its NASCAR Busch Series presence, with Hornish and fellow Penske drivers Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman, each competing in multiple races. Hornish will compete in a limited number of Busch Series races in 2007 that do not conflict with his IndyCar commitments.
