Welcome to the Marshall Pruitt podcast in your week in Indy car listener Q&A episode brought to you by who?

Well, Cooper Tires, the mighty fine people at Cooper Tires whose amazing products power the road toy, of which I'm so thankful.

I got to see those in person, and the fine folks at Cooper Tires, got to see

Alma Peoples last weekend at Portland.

Also going to say a huge thanks to the Justice Brothers.

They happened to win a race last weekend at Laguna Seca, Wayne Taylor Racing's number 10, Accura, Air X05, DPI.

Then a good, good pals at Toronto motorsports.com.

Some of you might have seen some tweets in who knows what else is on social media about the Robin Miller charity hat using the amazing phrase or expression that he uttered in a visit to the podcast here a couple years ago.

I need to say a massive thanks to you, dear listener.
