Even if the asteroid wasn't moving relative to the sun, we are moving very fast around the sun and would in effect collide into it.

I think the Earth's speed as it orbits the Sun is in the neighborhood of 60,000 MPH. Fast enough for a large floating chunk of space rock to do major damage as it slams into us!
