Hornish, Wheldon and Castroneves selected source: irl.racing-live.com Sam Hornish Jr. headlines a trio of IndyCar drivers on the ballot for the 2006 'Auto Racing All-America team'. Hornish, a three-time IndyCar champion and 2006 Indianapolis 500 winner, is joined by 2005 IndyCar Series titlist Dan Wheldon and two-time Indianapolis 500 champion Helio Castroneves as nominees in the open-wheel category. All three drivers have been previously honoured as members of the team. Others nominated in the open-wheel category are Sébastien Bourdais (Champ Car), A.J. Allmendinger (Champ Car), and Justin Wilson (Champ Car). Balloting for the team will be conducted by the more than 300 members of the American Auto Racing Writers and Broadcasters Association. The annual vote selects two nominees from each of seven categories for the first team, which is honoured at the annual AARWBA banquet Jan. 13 in Indianapolis. The winner of the Jerry Titus Award also will be announced at the banquet. The Titus Award honours the team's top driver - the one earning the most votes in the balloting regardless of category. The last two IndyCar Series champions -- Tony Kanaan (2004) and Wheldon - also won the Titus Award.
