SPARTA, Ky. (AP) -- Maybe it was the new engine in his Chevrolet, or maybe Sam Hornish Jr. just didn't want to surrender his status as the Indy Racing League's top driver.
Whatever the reason, Hornish, the two-time defending IRL IndyCar Series champion, set series records for average speed and career wins Sunday in the Belterra Casino Indy 300 at Kentucky Speedway.
The 24-year-old Hornish averaged 197.897 mph, shattering the series speed record of 180.917 mph, set by Alex Barron on July 27 at Michigan International Speedway.
