Welcome to the Marshall Proop Podcast in your week in IndyCar, a listener Q&A show.

Well, we are what?

Two months now, three almost into an offseason, y'all.

Last race of 2025, it actually took place the very end of August,

and here we are creeping towards the end of November. It feels like we haven't done anything,

IndyCar, for way too long. But hopefully what we gather for each week here, there'll be a little bit of

something to help expedite the hunger pangs for open wheel racing. I want to say a big thanks to y'all

for sending in all the questions that you did. Our friend Jerry Sudath, who puts together the

questions each week for us. It says we had about 900 words worth of questions. So we're going to get

through as many as we can. And I won't set a time expectation, but in a reasonable amount of time.

And that's a bit of a floating. It's a cop out. It's what it is. I just always say, you can try and do it

about an hour. And then I always fail. So, but I will indeed try and keep it to roughly an hour, but we'll let it just be a floating

target. How's that? Um, huge thanks as well to our dear friends and longstanding show partners

at the Justice Brothers, Justice Brothers.com makers of just mighty fine automotive chemicals, lubricants, and cleaners,

widely used in motor racing as well.

And then the great purveyors as I lose my voice or go through puberty or maybe both.

The great, great folks at Toronto Motorsports.com,

purveyors of modern motor racing memorabilia,

hats, t-shirts, books, stickers, models,

everything you love from IndyCar, Imsa, Formula One.

They got it all.

Please pay them a visit, take some of that home.
