It is a 2.5 mile (4 km) tri-oval race track facility with a seating capacity of 168,000 spectators. . ``I want to go with someone who believes in me.

Hornaday spent a season in Winston Cup driving the No. 14 Pontiac for A.J. Foyt Racing. But the team struggled and Hornaday was released near the end of the season.

``I'd rather win races than be a ride-around,'' Hornaday said. ``I want to go out there and win races.''

Hornaday might be doing as much preparation on the track as he is off it these days. Childress has all of his drivers, which includes Harvick, Jeff Green Jeff Green may refer to:

Hornaday has had to go through CAT scans and was fitted for a head-and- neck safety helmet in recent weeks.

Not that he was reluctant to participate in all the tests and fittings, but Hornaday said he comes from a different generation of drivers who didn't have to go through such scrutiny.

``I guess I'm old school,'' he said. ``My thinking on it is if I don't wreck, I don't have to worry about those kind of things.''
