I don’t like writing negative things. Especially about a driver whom I – 1) like and 2) is from our hometown region in Northwest Ohio.

But there wasn’t much escaping the choice for 2008′s Worst Driver OPeR. As was pointed out by Race Talk Radio‘s Dennis Mickelson, in a Facebook message to me -  “Sam Hornish Jr gets my vote for worst driver! He was given a gift of starting in the first five races and still fell out of the top 35!”

Sam had his moments in 2008 – the Daytona 500 was encouraging – just not possitive ones.

    Yeah–this one hurts. But maybe like the turn around that Toyota experienced this year, Hornish can make 2009 something special. The boy has talent–can he translate it to the heavy ones?

Got something to say?
