Welcome to the Marshall Pruitt podcast and your week in IndyCar listener Q&A show,

getting this done earlier than I did last week, y'all.

I apologize, though.

It is a little bit past 6 p.m. on a Thursday evening.

Indeed, had a very hectic week, but nonetheless, good week.

I had another round of chemo here earlier in the week.

My wife, she is dealing and doing okay.

Really happy, though.

Her birthday is on Saturday, so get to, if the side effects aren't too bad, try and enjoy that with my wife.

So that'll be a nice little break from crazy busy stretch for the last couple of months.

Got travel next week and then I think staying over got indycar mid ohio doubleheader at

iowa the following weekend with the timing of things the race going off sunday at mid ohio no way to

get back to columbus or any other local airport and get on a flight and get back home

by Sunday night.

So would mean flying out Monday, losing more than half of Monday, and then turning right back

around a couple days later and going back to effectively the same region. So I think the plan right now is to do a bit

of a stayover and yeah, all kinds of fun. What's next after that? Not going to do Toronto IndyCar

the weekend after. A little bit of a break finally. I'm trying to take some days off, which would be the

first since I think early April, maybe March, I'm not sure, but take a little bit of a break.

We got IMSA where Road America. And then, yeah, then we speed through and finish off IndyCar season.

So we are, what, I think about a half hour-ish away from today's Iowa IndyCar test being finished.

This being the 27 car full field, everyone in hybrid configuration, just got, ooh, should have turned my ringer off there.
