15th moment goes to Chevy

In August 2003, the Indy Car series invaded the Kentucky Speedway for its fourth race at the track. Racing was tight in years past for the Indy Car series at the track, but for the 2003 season, the cars supplied by Chevrolet engines were not cutting the mustard, so to speak. They were slow. Something had to be done to make the field more even.

Thus, Chevy developed a new engine and allowed on driver from its camp to use it at selected events throughout the year.

The Kentucky race's new Chevy engine belonged to Sam Hornish Jr. The result? Hornish dominated the race going away. He wasn't challenged for the second half of the race and I blinked and the race was over. It only lasted 90 minutes. Being a Nascar fan, I wasn't used to being a race for such a short amount of time.
