 Hornish returned to the car in 2013, and scored his second NASCAR victory at Las Vegas.He was a strong contender for the drivers' title, earning 4 poles, 16 top 5s and 25 top 10s, but ultimately finished second to Austin Dillon in the final points standings, despite Dillon not winning a race.Hornish was left without a full-time ride, as longtime owner Roger Penske did not have any opportunities for his former champion, though he did say Hornish deserved another opportunity at NASCAR's top level.
