Welcome to the Marshall Pro Podcast, your weekend IndyCar listener Q&A coming out of the good old Portland International Raceway, a little bit of jambery there in the Pacific Northwest.

Speaking of jamming, I'm home for 48 hours and those 48 hours are almost up.

So leaving here in, ooh, about 10 hours.

Very early.

Wednesday morning coming up, heading down to Monterey.

Going to be there for the rest of the week to cover the Rolex Monterey Motorsports reunion.

So you're going to do a little bit of a condensed episode here.

Do about a half hour or so.

And if there's a desire, can pick up the rest of the questions and do those early next week when I'm back before we head off to Milwaukee.

So thank you, as always, for the great questions you have sent in to our pal Jerry

Sudeth, who puts these together for us and our partners at the Justice Brothers, that being

justicebrothers.com, makers of mighty fine, automotive chemicals, lubricants, and cleaners in Toronto Motorsports.com,

purveyors of just epically beautiful, modern motor racing memorabilia, t-shirts, hats, books, stickers,

models, F1, IndyCar, EMSA, you name it, Toronto Motorsports.com.

So let's rock and roll. Let's get going right away and like i said try and get to more next week and uh we're going to open up with our old pal

jim kaiser some haiku this young polo kid may turn out to be someone, he says, if we give him time.

I would posit my friend Mr. Kaiser, he's already someone.

And he was someone before we knew him.

So I think he's been someone for quite some time.

Ken Anderson, you are up next. You're asking, uh, in a condensed fashion. Is Alex

Palo the best driver in the world? I would say he is not. And that's not because I don't

believe he has the potential. Just hard to use a sample of just Indy car.
