IF Richard Childress was to start a new IRL team?...

[Teej]

with all the resources he has wouldn't it make sense for him to hire a 2-time series champion like Sam Hornish to build a team to startup around?

In return, Sam gets to cherry-pick NASCAR races driving a 4th RCR entry.

To me this is the most likely scenario...

These articles about Hornish to Nascar keep popping up. Sure seems like Hornish and RC keeping giving strong hints. My guess he'll acquire a full time ride in WS with a clause of racing in the Indy 500 starting next year. Sam will be swimming breath strokes in a pool of money. I was assuming he would race for Penske's Nascar team, but after hearing Richard Childress talking with Panther Racing in possibly starting an IRL team, I kind of started getting suspicious. Watch he goes to TCGR's Nascar team. Ugggh!!

I tend to lean towards RCR (30 AOL car) and Childress was/is trying to keep a Panther connection for Sam's one-off @ Indy.

I am in no way convinced that Childress will start an IRL Team. IF he becomes involved it will be the same way he did with Foyt & Menard.
