Franchitti is a different story; as i told before, He had any intention to retire, but the unexpected 2007 convinced him to keep on driving.
Hornish, on the contgrary is still young and has, via Penske organisation, a chance to go Nascar, then I don't believe that, had he stayed one more year in IRL, he would have found unpredictable motivations.
His aim is Nascar, we've known it for years.
About appeal to casual fans, you're easily right, but had Panther followed the same reasoning about Sam 5 yrs ago....
More in general, drivers are expected to pass by, IRL's strenght is in their major teams, which are staying
