Welcome to the Marshall Pruitt podcast and your weekend Indy car listener to a Q and A show.

It is for the second week in a row, a Thursday evening recording, only many days late.

And indeed, just like last week ahead of Milwaukee, jumping on a plane tomorrow morning,

line out to good old Nashville.

Have ourselves a little season finale, y'all.

I'm still trying to process this.

Feels like maybe Fontana season finale era where end of August when we truly shut down

the season feels like it's been a little while.

Not saying that it's gone super late recently, you know, first second week of September,

but still just having some

flashbacks to whatever that was 10 years ago or a little over where, yeah, hey, here we are

going into Labor Day weekend and that's it. So yeah, going to hold us a little jamboree

at Nashville Speedway.

Got to admit, went into Milwaukee knowing that championships already been salted away.

That's done.

Nothing to race for, right?

This is a meaningless race.

The normal context of why we tune in looking to see who's going to become that champion.

There's nothing there.

And yet we had this amazing race.

Thank you to the sprinkles that led to that caution.

Ended up throwing a bit of a wild card out there.
