Positives: Briscoe, Mutoh and Lloyd are all good young drivers that could be future of series and have talent and a good mix for the series.
Negatives: Hornish Jr and Franchitti, open wheel veterens and both well known although the later for his wife and flips! Hornish was what the IRL was. He was American and dramatic and brought excitment. He was what the IRL needs, and many compared him to Rick Mears oval talent wise. But I don't think along with Lazier etc they can replace the hole that has been left. Talent wise the new step up drivers may be talented and the future just not what America is going to tune into. Hornish, Danica and Andretti at Indy last lap battle is what people want to see.
