Welcome to the Marshall Proop Podcast and your week in IndyCar listener Q&A show coming out of the Indianapolis 500-109th edition won by Alex Palo.

Wow.

Y'all have sent in an appropriate number of questions for the show coming out of a couple of weeks of downright madness.

So we've got two options.

I can either try and cover your questions and we will have a nine-year episode or I will just go ahead and commit to splitting this into two. So I'll do the

first half assembled by our friend Jerry Sudath. Got to see Jerry and his wife. And so many

of you had a cool little meetup race morning at Indianapolis. Thank you again to all the

amazing members of the Prude. Some who've

traveled as far from the UK all the way to be here. So it was just great to see so many of you.

And with all that said, big thanks once again to Jerry, to Christy Pradena, Matt and Steve, and just run down the list.

So many of y'all that are just awesome.

So great to see y'all.

And yeah, we'll split this into two, try and do about an hour here and then pick up the rest and go for no more than an hour in a part two in a day or two.

The groups break up into a lot of technical inspection questions, as you might expect,

and then a bunch of Indy 500 race itself-related questions.

So that might be about as far as we get on this episode. But yeah, we'll

try and do more if possible. Say a huge thank you as well for the Justice Brothers, makers of

genuinely and mighty fine automotive chemicals, lubricants, and cleaners. They did indeed

celebrate 80 years of competing at the Indy 500 last weekend and sat down

and spoke with our friend Ed Justice Jr. in a podcast episode that went up as well. So a big,

amazing appreciation for them and also to our great and dear friends at Toronto motorsports.com.

If you do love your racing memorabilia, your modern stuff,
