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

Getting this one fired off here way later than expected. It is a Tuesday evening. Good Lord. It's a Thursday

evening. It took a bit of a nose dive last week on getting the show done

in both literal and figurative ways uh dealing with uh some not very kind uh physical

issues and while in my hotel crack at dawn super early Wednesday morning last week

passed out I think and then knocked myself out no joke came to two two three in the

morning and took a little while, but was able to gather my faculties

and sit up, crawled into bed, back into bed, and woke up many hours later, my head was

pounding, and was able to kind of sort of walk

uh back in to the bathroom and saw a whole heck a bunch of blood and then decided well hold on

let me now that the sun's up and there's some light in the room let me go look in the mirror

and said oh there's blood all down my face and all across in the room, let me go look in the mirror and said, oh, there's blood

all down my face and all across my chest and, well, let me look back at the bed. Oh. Yeah.

Oh, boy. So, yeah. So took a literal figurative and every other form of factual nosedive header.

And then here's the funny part.

Not funny, but hey, we'll just go with it.

Last Wednesday was the inaugural Co-Force collective gathering that helped conceive and put on with my dear friends at

CoForce at Gearbox Studios in Indianapolis, this during IMSA Race Week, battle on the bricks,

and had 80, 90 plus guests there, did a three-hour stint hosting that three, four hours, talking about digital content creation

and its impact in the sport.

And IMPSA president, John Dunin, IndyCar president, IMS president, IMS president,

Doug Bowles, some other great, great guests.
