Summary

It's The Week In IndyCar guest show featuring Team Penske's Simon Pagenaud, using listener-driven comments and questions covering a variety of topics submitted by fans via Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit. Of the items discussed: Testing at Barber Motorsports Park and what teams try to achieve at tests; finding what was missing during his 2020 season and how to prevent it from happening this year; which items he--as a former Pikes Peak participant--would change on a Dallara DW12 Indy car to use at the event; getting his mind into the 'zone' and, of course, lots about his dog, Norman.
