I wasn't aware that he was still under contract with Panther for next year. With all the speculation there's been surrounding his future, I thought he was a free-agent. And the speculation is rife. Some have suggested Pennzoil wants to make a driver trade, Hornish for deFerran, and move the Panther organization to CART. Of course, there's also been talk of a three-car Penske team, talk of Hornish to NASCAR...
The only thing I can say for sure is that, if he can avoid injuries, Hornish certainly has a bright future ahead of him. My prediction for his immediate future is status quo for 2003.
