ELKHART LAKE, Wis. Zach Britton Jersey . -- If Sam Hornish Jr. could do it over, he would be more selective in the way he made the jump from open-wheel racing to NASCAR six years ago. Now, Hornish understands the value of having the right ride. So he relishes his shot to win in the Nationwide series this year -- even if those chances arent coming every week. Hornish, the 2006 Indianapolis 500 winner and a three-time series champion in Indy-style racing, is racing a part-time Nationwide schedule for Joe Gibbs Racing in 2014. Hes splitting the No. 54 car with Sprint Cup series star Kyle Busch, so hell only get to race when Busch cant. His next opportunity is Saturdays race at Road America, a scenic 4-mile road course that winds through the tree-lined hills of central Wisconsin. "There were a lot of people that had negative comments about the fact that I was running a part-time schedule," Hornish said. "But you need to look at what the 54 has done over the past couple of years, what the strength of the JGR organization is. I feel like Id rather have seven shots at it with an opportunity to win every time, rather than (a full schedule) and knowing that if I come home 10th, everybody on the team is going to be happy." Hornish took the part-time ride at Gibbs this year after losing his Nationwide ride at Team Penske; despite his second-place finish to Austin Dillon in the Nationwide drivers championship standings in 2013, his sponsorship dried up and the team didnt have a place for him. In three Nationwide races this year -- two in the No. 54 car and one in the No. 20 car -- he has a victory at Iowa, a second-place finish last week at Michigan and a fifth-place finish at Talladega. And he likes his chances at Road America, where he has finished fifth each of the past two years. Its one of Hornishs favourite tracks, one he visited as a fan on family vacations and raced on in open-wheel cars early in his career. "I remember sitting down in Turn 5 as a kid watching the Indy car race," Hornish says. "Any time you can go back to a place that you have these happy childhood memories from, from a vacation or whatever it happened to be, thats always a good thing." A win at Road America would add to the already compelling case Hornish is making for another shot at the top-tier Sprint Cup series, where hes still fighting the stigma of the disappointing first impression he made from 2008 to 2010. Getting back to Cup remains his ultimate goal, but he wont necessarily take any opportunity that comes his way. "Im going to be a little more choosy about that at this point in time, because I know that I cant carry the car," Hornish said. "Nobody can. You can put even the best drivers in the Cup series in a car thats not capable of running in the top 15, and they might get a 12th out of it a day here and there. But thats not enough to keep yourself where you want to be or to move up to that next ride." For now, Hornish wants to make the most of the opportunities he has while appreciating the additional time he has at home with his wife and three kids -- a different kind of full-time schedule. "I went to being kind of a glorified limo driver or taxi driver, taking kids here and there," Hornish says. "But its awesome. Theres been so many part of this year that I would have heard about, instead of being able to experience." Jimmy Paredes Jersey .This one was bigger than most.Ben Roethlisberger and LeVeon Bell came up big in a game that Pittsburgh had to win Sunday, leading the Steelers to a 42-21 drubbing of the Cincinnati Bengals that left the AFC North race wide open. Yovani Gallardo Orioles Jersey . The two-time former Formula One champion downplayed his third-place finish three weeks ago in China and said progress is going slow for Ferrari as it tries to make up ground on Mercedes.ALTENBERG, Germany - Junior world champion Nico Walther helped his German teammates win a four-man bobsled race for his first World Cup victory on Sunday, while four-time world champion Maximilian Arndt was taken to the hospital for checks after crashing.Arndt, Alexander Roediger, Kevin Korona and Ben Heber flipped over at high speed onto their side in a curve during their first run. The German suffered a cut, bruises and suspected concussion.Walther and his team of Andreas Bredau, Marko Huebenbecker and Christian Poser were fastest in the first run and quick enough in the second to win in 1:48.11, edging Latvias Oskars Melbardis, Daumants Dreiskens, Arvis Vilkaste and Janis Strenga by four hundredths of a second.Switzerlands Rico Peter, Janne Bror vann der Zijde, Thomas Amrhein and Simon Friedli were third, 0. Matt Wieters Jersey. 67 seconds back.Two Canadian sleds finished in the top 10.Justin Kripps of Summerland, B.C., Ben Coakwell of Saskatoon, Joey Nemet of Hamilton, Ont., and Bryan Barnett of Edmonton were seventh, 1.22 seconds back. Calgarys Chris Spring, Alexander Kopacz of London, Ont., Derek Plug and Joshua Kirkpatrick, both from Calgary, were 10th, 1.55 seconds behind.The boys all did well today and put in a really tough effort, said Canadian coach Tom De La Hunty. It is very encouraging to have both sleds in the top 10. That means you are in the mix and anything can happen. But we are suffering big time on the start and we must work on that.———With files from The Canadian Press.
