Welcome to the Marshall Pruitt podcast, your week in IndyCar listener Q&A episode.

Oh boy, we have not had an IndyCar race in about a month.

And does that mean we slow down here on the show?

This one powered by you, all listener driven.

No, not at all.

Thanks to our pal Jim Kaiser, who puts together the list each week for me.

Tells me we have more than 3,200 words worth of questions.

63 questions submitted.

And again, we haven't had a race in a month.

But I love it.

It tells me that IndyCar is thriving.

Even last year this time, we did not have as many questions coming in.

So just really happy to take the overall response to IndyCar, the seemingly unwavering number of questions and topical items for us to get into each week as just great indicator that things are continuing to rise.

So we're going to dive right in in just a sec.

As always, I want to say huge thank you to Cooper Tires.

Their tires do indeed power the road to Indy.

Also mighty fine road tires, off-road tires, just fine manufacture of tires all around.

The Justice Brothers, whose automotive chemicals and lubricants I have used since 1986.

Yes, that is true.

And also our friends at Toronto Motorsports.com, motor racing memorabilia, like you just won't find anywhere else.

There's a lot of fun, a lot of mirth, all all coming out of our friends from north of the border, at least for here in the U.S., that being Toronto motorsports.com.

So please give them a look.
