Sam Hornish Jr., currently a part-time driver for Joe Gibbs in the Nationwide Series, will reportedly be replacing outgoing Australian driver Marcos Ambrose in the #9 Ford Fusion at Richard Petty Motorsports in the Sprint Cup Series in 2015. The news was reported on Tuesday and is expected to officially be announced on Wednesday morning during a press conference at RPM's headquarters in Concord, North Carolina, where Nationwide and Cup incidentally race this weekend.
Hornish previously drove in Cup with Roger Penske, driving the #77 Dodge from 2008 to 2010, the #22 Dodge in 2012 and the #12 Ford in a couple of races in 2012 and 2013. He also had a brief stint with Front Row Motorsports in 2011. Before NASCAR, Hornish competed in the IndyCar series, winning three series championships and the 2006 Indianapolis 500 in a photo finish.
