Throw Back Thursday November 13th, 2014

It was the 2006 IndyCar Grand Prix of Sonoma.  Qualifying was under way and I was covering the weekend as credentialed media so I had access to everything.   Qualifying on track could be, and was rather boring as each car went out for one hot lap to set a time.  During this time I cruised the pit boxes looking for something interesting.  2006 was the year Sam Hornish Jr. won the Indy 500,  I happened upon him and the rest of Team Penske waiting to do a qualifying lap.   He appeared to be in a moment of deep concentration as he stood in the position of the photograph for several minutes.
