today in the Marshall Pruitt podcast we get to know Jimmy McMillan senior legal counsel at the

Indianapolis Motor Speedway new task though one added on top of that he is the speedways

and the NTT Indycar series chief diversity officer what exactly does that entail? Well, we asked Jimmy to help

explore that. It's a fascinating duty, fascinating responsibility that should forever change.

IMS and IndyCar. More medium and long term, but he is working every day tirelessly, as we find,

to make a short-term impact as well.

We open this conversation wanting to get to know the man himself.

Fascinating upbringing, really do appreciate all that Jimmy has achieved,

knowing that there are plenty of obstacles put in his way,

and his passion and enthusiasm

for motor racing, the speedway, IndyCar, and creating a bigger and more inclusive family,

both on the fan side, on the team side, managerial engineering driver, you name it.

This is what we explore.

So we get to know Jimmy McMillan here on the Marshall Proop podcast, brought you by Cooper

Tires, the Justice Brothers, and Toronto Motorsports.com.

Jimmy was really excited to see your promotion within the Indianapolis Motor Speedway hierarchy under Penske

Entertainment's oversight and such knowing that you had been part of IMS, part of the

leadership there from a legal capacity, but really truly excited to

see you named as the Speedways IndyCar series as well, Chief Diversity Officer.

And so it just occurred to me that you are going to be someone that is shaping and dictating some really

important things for the future. And I feel so dumb and ignorant for not knowing enough about

you. So that's why I really appreciate you taking some time here for us to just learn about you
