Welcome to the Marshall Proof podcast.

New Week in IndyCar, a listener Q&A show.

According this on a Monday afternoon at about 4 o'clock.

Sincere apologies, y'all.

Did not end up getting an episode done last week.

Got home a little bit past midnight.

I guess that'd be Wednesday morning after Elkhart Lake and then staying over for the

hybrid power train test at the Milwaukee Mile and was really busy right away with matters at home. So do appreciate the, I can't even

count how many of y'all were so sweet while on my little Midwest tour asking about how my

wife Shabrell is doing with the return fight to cancer, the breast cancer we've been fighting for a while now.

She is indeed doing well. Just, I think, the day before the flight, maybe to Wisconsin.

We had our second round of chemo, and we thought that it was going a little smoother and easier in the days

it followed with side effects and indeed um that did happen but yeah uh kept fighting way longer than

expected so that took charge of most of last week after getting home, but in a better place right now.

So very happy to say all that.

So hey, what do we have this weekend?

We have my home race, WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, a brief 90-minute drive south.

So naturally I'll be, no, I won't be going to that one.

Been scheduled for a while to indeed go elsewhere.

The far opposite end of where I'll be from Laguna Seca will be Watkins Glen, Imsa, the Salins six hours. So yeah,

uh, instead of an easy little drive to cover my home race, I'm indeed getting on a big old bird

very early Wednesday morning and heading all the way across the U.S. and just share this. Some of y'all may know it, so it might be old news,
