Welcome to the Marshall Proop Podcast, your week in IndyCar guest show.

And who do we have?

An old friend who is embarking upon a new chapter in his career.

That would be Simon Pajon, better known as Jean-Girard, the father to young, three-month-old

Marley, husband to Haley, a man who did pretty big and important things in the first

chapter of his IndyCar career, super sub to start out, then a great stint with the team we would call today is Aaron McLaren SP.

Moving on to Team Penske, I don't know if you heard, Simon.

You won a championship and an N.

500 there.

And now the world's newest driver for Ohio's Meyer, Shank racing. We're going to get into a bunch of great

questions from our listeners as usual, but let's check in on the very first point here, brother,

and say, how's your first couple of days after the season and after being announced with

this new home you're heading to, how are things in your world?

Hey, Marshall. Well, thanks for having me on the podcast. You know, it's obviously been an event for a few days.

You know, it's seven years with Tim Penske and, you know, fulfilled with a lot of success.

You know, I almost forgot it, but we also won the IMSA championship with, with Dan Cameron and Ron Montoya in 2019.

So a lot of things were accomplished there.

And obviously, Sunday was a very, very emotional emotional day for me probably one of the most

emotional day in my racing career. Very hard to basically start the race and the crossing

on the finish line was was emotional but amazing to see where I am today because of that, because of them.

And now it's going into this new adventure and a lot of excitement, a lot of new things coming up my way

and a different role in a team that's hoping to become a top team in the future.
