All right, everybody.

Welcome back to another edition of the 12 questions podcast.

My name is Jeff Buck.

I'm a motorsports writer for the athletic.

And each week, I ask the same 12 questions to a different race car driver.

Up next is IndyCar series points leader Alex Palo, who recently just won the Detroit race,

which was a few days ago as of the recording of this podcast.

And he was the Indy 500

poll sitter as well, obviously a former IndyCar champion also who was in quite the pickle

last year when both Chip Ganassi racing and McLaren thought they had rights to him for this year.

That was a contract dispute that was eventually sorted out,

and he has returned to Ganassi for this season for now.

We talked a little about that as well as a variety of other things, so take a listen.

All right, everybody, I'm here with Alex Palo for 12 questions.

How are you doing?

I'm great.

Thank you so much for doing this. Okay, so these questions, you know, they're

sort of like random all over the place, not just for you specifically. Some are, but some are not.

Okay. So the first one is you have to pick one chore or obligation to do every single day for an

entire year. But if you do it every day, you never have to do it for

the rest of your life. So what would you like to knock out forever? Oh, knock out forever. Oh, my God,

that's tough. I don't know. Maybe cooking. I would say cooking or washing my clothes or something like that.
