Welcome to the Marshall Proop Podcast,

your week in IndyCar listener Q&A show.

It is Monday, May the 13th.

It's about 10 p.m. or so getting this done while my wife is sleeping.

A big thanks to our pal Jerry Sidduth, who put all

the questions together for us, puts them in a entertaining order. Does this for us each week.

Great friend, greatly appreciated Jerry. Thanks to y'all for the many questions you sent in.

Jerry says about 3,300 words and over 60 questions this week.

I'm going to try and do our best to get back on schedule with doing the faster and shorter episodes, which I have been liking.

I'm going to give you a quick personal update first and then roll into our show

was meant to fly out to Indies. You probably heard me say a couple of times on Sunday.

Got home from the Weather Tech Sports Car Championship MSA Race in Monterey Saturday and was meant to do laundry and get

repacked and head out the door Sunday morning. My wife, Shabrell, said, hey, we need to talk

and shared with me that while I'd been away and I guess a day or two prior, some things had changed pretty

seriously in the chemo that she's been on and shared with y'all a couple months ago, I think,

early March that the chemo we had been on had stopped working. Our oncologist had said, hey, we're gonna give this a trial

and bump up the horsepower on it.

And hopefully that'll reignite things

and that seemed to work for a little while.

But that had stopped and yeah,

returned hardcore in quickly.

So that made getting on a plane to go do things like covering a motor race.
