Sam Hornish Jr. on Balance Between Work and Family
Sam Hornish Jr. knew that it would be difficult to find a balance between fatherhood and being a NASCAR driver, but he didn’t realize how tough it would actually be. After his wife Crystal gave birth to daughter Addison Faith, now 6 months, Sam had to leave for Daytona, where he began to keep a very hectic schedule. "I was gone for four days, I came back for two, then I was out in California and Las Vegas," Sam explains. "It was very, very hard." One thing that makes the juggling easier is Crystal’s support. She "makes sure that it works" and Sam doesn’t think she "get[s] enough credit for that."
I have to hand it to Crystal, she got up and back coming to the races a lot faster than probably most moms would do, and that’s because it was important to her.
Sam, 29, and Crystal were married June 5th, 2004.
