The better question is, is Jeff Gordon NASCAR's Sam Hornish?
"I didn't hear a single comment about airboxes, "carbashians", or how terrible the car looked. I did see dozens and dozens of little kids in awe of the speed and how cool the cars looked. We should learn from our children." --Danny Noonan

Oh, I LIKE the way you think
Personally, I don't think he can really be compared to anyone else. In all the years I've been around racing, he's one-of-a-kind, as far as I can see. We love to watch him!
"I would really like to go to NASCAR. I really enjoy NASCAR and if I could be there in a couple of years that's where I'd want to be."- Jeff Gordon (after testing a Formula Super Vee)
Sam's starting to get some well deserved ink and face time on TV...and not just "RPM2Day" & speedtv. We need to create our OWN stars and not have to get them from elsewhere....
I wouldn't compare him to Jeff Gordon but maybe more like Bill Elliott, without the most popular driver awards with Sarah around. Elliott came from the short track racing, ran part time with the family team showing talent which attracted a big sponsor and he took off. Sam came from go carts and ran for PDM, showed talent, a big team and sponsor put him in good equipment and he took off. Both do the interviews and such but are more concerned with the racing than being hyped as a star. The fame hasn't gone to either guy's head.
"You can't arrest those guys, they're folk heroes"
"They're criminals"
"Well most folk heroes started out as criminals"
"Personally, I don't think he can really be compared to anyone else. In all the years I've been around racing, he's one-of-a-kind, as far as I can see. We love to watch him!
GO SAM!"
We'll find out if he's one of a kind if he goes to WC...lot's of good ones over there...
