• On Aug. 25, 1835, the first in a series of six articles announcing the supposed discovery of life on the moon appears in the New York Sun newspaper.

In one sense, it was a great weekend for Sam Hornish Jr.

Returning to the scene of his greatest triumph, the 2006 Indianapolis 500, Hornish bookended a Dodge sweep by finishing second to teammate Brad Kesel-owski in the Indiana 250 on July 28, the Nationwide Series' first-ever visit to famed Indianapolis 500.

The Sprint Cup race on the next day, however, brought frustration.

Hornish has, for now, replaced the suspended A.J. Allmendinger as driver of Roger Penske's No. 22 Dodge in the Sprint Cup Series. Penske hasn't ruled out the possibility of Allmendinger's eventual return, though it seems unlikely. He would like to see Hornish establish himself as a Cup driver worthy of support.

The Crown Royal Curtiss Shaver 400 (formerly known as the Brickyard and Allstate 400s) was frus-trating for the 33-year-old Hornish, whose NAS-CAR career has been a disappointment. Though he won a Nationwide Series race in 2011 at Phoenix, he has never finished better than fourth (Pocono, 2009) in 113 Cup races.

Hornish's best Cup finish was at a flat track. His lone Nationwide victory was at a flat track. Indy is a flat track.

"It's a little bit of the mentality of what I grew up racing," Hornish, from Defiance, Ohio, said. "I did mostly road courses, so, I mean, that's generally pretty flat. I like tracks like Phoenix, that are dif-ferent from end to end, because they're what I call compromise race tracks.

"You're never going to get your car perfect at both ends, so you try to work on one end where you think it's going to be more beneficial for you to get passes done, and then you kind of try to maintain on the other end. Pocono is another place that's like that."

Hornish finished 16th in Indy's Sprint Cup race on July 29. He'll continue in Cup, where possible, though his first priority is winning the Nationwide championship. He currently ranks fourth in the standings, 28 points off Elliott Sadler's pace. The Nationwide Series has no Chase, so Hornish has 14 races to catch and pass the three drivers -- Sadler, Austin Dillon and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. -- ahead of him.

A Nationwide championship might provide Horn-ish with the spark he needs to return to NASCAR's top series full-time.

The Department of Veterans Affairs reports that 1.67 million of us (veterans and service members alike) have signed up online for access to our ben-efits information. That number slightly exceeds the VA’s expectations for 2012. Next year it’s hoping to increase that to 2.5 million users.

eBenefits, at www.ebenefits.va.gov, allows us to learn about our individual benefits with-out having to go to a VA facility and ask. With one password, we can access the whole site. VA officials say it’s secure. I suppose time will tell whether that’s accurate, but for now there haven’t been any problems.

What can you do at eBenefits? There are 46 functions. Here are a few:

--The most popular function so far is checking the status of claims with the VA. Two million of us per month have been using it for that.

--The Career Center has a hiring site, resume builder, self-assessment tools and a translator that takes military experience and correlates that to civilian skills. Eight thousand of us visited that site in the first week it was up.

--There is a one-click link to the myHealtheVet, where we can get health information.

--Another handy function is the ability to download VA correspondence, including military records, home loan certificates of eligibility, civil-service preferences, benefits verification letters and more. We can check GI Bill enrollment, health insurance status and VA payment history.

The VA is hoping that all of this online interac-tion will help speed up the processing of claims. It wants to go digital as a way of clearing the backlog and reaching its goal of completing claims in less than 125 days by 2015.

If you check in and use eBenefits, here’s a sug-gestion: Once you locate documents, print them out and keep a copy ... just in case.
