Hornish began driving in the

Vegas Indy 300 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Hornish started 18th and had his first career podium finish (third place, one lap behind).[13] He qualified for his first Indianapolis 500 in 14th place, after his team replaced the G-Force with a Dallara IR00.[14] In mid-race, Hornish was involved in an accident[15] which relegated him to 24th place.[14] Starting 20th at Kentucky Speedway, he led for a series career-high 38 laps and finished ninth.[16] Hornish ended his season with a 27th- (and last-) place finish at Texas Motor Speedway,[17] finishing his rookie season with 110 points (21st in the point standings).[18]

2001−2003: Panther Racing

Before the

Homestead-Miami in his first two races with the team.[2] At the Indianapolis 500, Hornish qualified in 13th place. He finished 14th, four laps behind after an early spin.[19] He continued to drive well, clinching the championship before the final race of the season (a second-place finish at Chicagoland Speedway). Since the winner of each race receives 50 points, Hornish's 66-point advantage clinched the championship with one race remaining.[20] At the season-ending race at Texas he started in the pole position, leading for 115 laps in his third win of the season.[21] Hornish won the championship with 503 points, 105 points ahead of second-place Buddy Lazier.[21] At age 22, he was the youngest champion in series history.[3]

In

Richmond International Raceway three races later.[25] At the Delphi Indy 300 at Chicagoland he defeated Al Unser Jr. by 0.0024 second, the closest finish in series history.[26][27] In the final race of the season at Texas, Hornish started in third place and led for 79 laps to win by 0.0096 second.[28] He won his second consecutive championship,[29] amassing five wins and 11 top-five finishes over the season.[2]

The beginning of the

Chevy 500 at Texas Motor Speedway, Hornish was mathematically eligible win the championship; however, his car had a spray problem after 176 of 195 laps.[36] He finished 17th, and was fifth in the final point standings with 461 points.[36]

2004−2007: Team Penske

Hornish began driving for

Toyota Indy V8, winning the season opener at Homestead-Miami in his first race with the team, passing teammate Hélio Castroneves on the final lap.[2] After qualifying in 11th place at the Indianapolis 500, he battled for the lead with Buddy Rice and Dan Wheldon and led for nine laps (the first laps Hornish led in his Indianapolis 500 career). On lap 105, entering the main straightaway out of the fourth turn, Hornish tried to pass Darren Manning and Greg Ray's lapped car. They collided, crashing into the pit lane; Hornish finished 26th, dropping to ninth place in the point standings.[37] The rest of his season was sub-par, with two podium finishes.[38] Hornish was seventh in the championship standings with 387 points,[39]
his worst finish since he placed 21st in 2000.

He returned to Team Penske for the

Phoenix in the season's second race, Hornish started in second place and won after leading for 25 laps.[40] During practice for the Indianapolis 500, he drove over a piece of debris after Paul Dana's second-turn crash and flipped over.[41] Two days later Hornish qualified in second place, crashing out after leading for a race-high 77 laps and finishing 23rd.[42] At the Milwaukee Mile he qualified for the pole position and led for 123 of 225 laps, passing Dario Franchitti with nine laps left for his second win of the season.[43] Hornish finished third in the championship standings, with 512 points.[44]

Hornish again returned to Penske in

Richmond (after leading for all but 38 laps),[49] and he took the points lead after winning the next race at Kansas.[50] His fourth and final win of the season was at Kentucky, when he started second and led for 57 laps.[51] In the season-ending race at Chicagoland Hornish qualified for the pole position and finished third, clinching his third series championship[52] and Penske's first.[2] Although he and Dan Wheldon finished the year with the same number of points, the tie was broken by wins; Hornish had four, and Wheldon two.[53]

2007 Indianapolis 500

For the

2007 season Hornish again returned to Penske, starting the Indianapolis 500 in fifth place. Running consistently in the top ten, he finished fourth when the race was halted by rain after 166 laps.[54] Hornish's only win of the season was the Bombardier Learjet 550 at Texas Motor Speedway, when he started in second place and led for 159 of its 228 laps.[55] His series-best finish on a road course or street circuit, second place at the Camping World Watkins Glen Grand Prix, was overshadowed by an altercation with Tony Kanaan.[56] With the season-ending race at Chicagoland, Hornish ended his IndyCar career with a third-place finish (after starting second and leading for a race-high 90 laps) and finished fifth in the points standings.[57]

After the season, Hornish remained optimistic about an eventual IndyCar return: "I hope they move the schedule so that somebody could do it. That's my goal. If I never ran in the Indy 500 again or an IndyCar Series race I would probably say I would be disappointed about that."

next season[59] due to Castroneves' IRS problems. Castroneves was eventually cleared, missing only the season opener with Will Power driving for Penske during his absence.[60] In November 2013, Hornish declined an offer to drive for Chip Ganassi Racing in the upcoming season after Dario Franchitti's career-ending injuries at the 2013 Shell-Pennzoil Grand Prix of Houston.[61]

Homestead-Miami Speedway

In mid-2007, Hornish drove Penske's No. 27

ARCA Re/Max Series race at Michigan International Speedway. Starting in the pole position,[75] he led the first 29 laps of the race before being passed by eventual winner Erik Darnell[76][77] and finishing second.[64][78] After the race, he called the transition to stock cars a "challenge": "I'm a student at this, still trying to learn as much as I can. A lot of people have asked me what the toughest transition is, coming over here from the IndyCars and doing these stock car races, and really it's the fact I don't get much practice time."[64]

At the end of the season Hornish drove in the

Homestead-Miami, starting in 29th place. After crashing in turn three of lap 194 he finished 37th, thirteen laps behind.[82]

Coming off of turn 9, Hornish was racing with Kasey Kahne where Kasey got loose and got into Hornish causing Hornish to spin. He hit a tire barrier on the left rear of the car and shot him back across the race track spinning like a top where he was then t-boned by Jeff Gordon and then hit again by Jeff Burton where it nearly sent Hornish on his side. Gordon's impact into Hornish was so vicious, it ripped the fuel cell out of Hornish's car. Fortunately, Hornish, Gordon, and Burton walked out under their own power uninjured.[106] Hornish finished 28th in the final standings, with 3,203 points.[107]

Hornish joined Penske again in

Hornish qualified in the pole position and led for 37 laps, finishing eighth; Dillon, who finished twelfth, won the series championship.[137] Hornish was second in the final point standings, with 1,177.[138] During the season, car owner Roger Penske said that Hornish (who had driven for the team since 2004) would be released due to a lack of sponsorship.[139][140] Hornish planned to drive Penske's No. 12 in the Sprint Cup Series at Kansas and Talladega. At Kansas he started in fourth place, running as high as third before crashing on lap 183 due to winds.[141][142] The qualifier was rained out at Talladega, and Hornish failed to qualify because he had only one other Cup start that season.[143]

2015: Richard Petty Motorsports

"He's a family man who fits well with our core values and he will be a great ambassador for our partners. Sam's also proven that he can win races and compete for a championship. He came into the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series with a steep learning curve from open-wheel racing, but has shown in the Nationwide Series that he is a winner. We feel that he can get the No. 9 team to Victory Lane and compete in the Chase for us."

Richard Petty, announcing his team's signing of Hornish[152]

In

DJR Team Penske.[152] Hornish began the season with a twelfth-place finish at the Daytona 500, after starting 38th.[153] He struggled after the season opener, finishing 30th or worse in four of the next eight races.[154] In the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, Hornish had a season-best sixth-place finish;[155][156] after the race, Kevin Manion replaced Drew Blickensderfer as his crew chief.[156] He later finished in the top ten at both road-course races (tenth and ninth at Sonoma Raceway and Watkins Glen International, respectively).[157][158] In the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona he was involved in a single-car accident on lap 155, driving into the infield at nearly full speed. Hornish's splitter was pushed under the front of the car; he nearly flipped when the front of the car dug into the grass, and nearly flipped again when he crossed a track access road.[159] He retired from the race, finishing 30th.[160] On November 14, 2015, RPM announced that they did not expect Hornish to return to the team for the 2016 season.[161]

2016–2017: Part-time Xfinity Series schedule

On May 11, 2016, an article posted online by Sports Illustrated appeared to acknowledge that Hornish had retired from racing after being released by Richard Petty Motorsports, saying he "unharnessed himself one last time" and "hung up his helmet at the end of last season."[164] Five days later, however, an article from The Crescent-News (based in Hornish's birthplace of Defiance, Ohio) quoted Hornish as saying, "I'm still working on something to race in good equipment. Possibilities still exist for this year, but there were a couple of different opportunities that didn't pan out because somebody else brought money to the table."[165]

On June 8, 2016, Richard Childress Racing announced plans to add Hornish to their Xfinity Series driver lineup, hiring him to drive the No. 2 Chevrolet Camaro at the July Iowa race and Kentucky.[166] He also ran the No. 2 at Mid-Ohio.[167] Additionally, Hornish returned to Joe Gibbs Racing to drive the No. 18 Toyota Camry in place of an injured Matt Tifft for the June Iowa race,[168][169] a race he went on to win.[170][171]

In June 2017, Hornish returned to the Xfinity Series with Penske, driving the No. 22 Mustang at both Iowa races and the Mid-Ohio event.[172] At Mid-Ohio, Hornish won the pole, and proceeded to lead 61 of the 75 laps en route to victory in his home state.[173] Hornish returned to Penske for the fall race at Kentucky,[174] as well as the Charlotte and Homestead playoff races, finishing second in both.[175][176]
