Welcome to the Marshall Pruitt podcast.

And your week in IndyCar, a listener Q&A heading off here.

I move my flight back.

But I've got a Friday morning, 6 a.m. departure should land.

Good old Birmingham, Alabama.

Hopefully get to the track right around, if not shortly after.

Practice starts Friday.

But anyways, thanks y'all for just continued kindness and support to our dear friends

at the Justice Brothers and Trondomotysports.com for supporting all that we do and then our great pal jerry

sudoth who puts together the questions for us each week just had our cat rosy sleeping on my chest here

in the office got the reclining chair office chair going going on, chilling doing this episode.

She just jumped up, I guess, talking too much and disturbing her sleep.

So why don't we fire right in here, get through as many as I can.

And we're going to start off with Bill Goiker, Golker.

Sorry, man, I can't even read if that's an L or an I.

So if it's not both, we'll just change your name to Bill Geiger, Golker or Golker Geiger.

Says, is it just me or is there a growing buzz with IndyCar this season?

It was more than recent years.

Maybe it's a result of back-to-back-to-back races and the NASCAR tie-ins.

Spot on bill, without a doubt.

The momentum thing, it's just proving itself to be a smart move by IndyCar.

So just writing about this, waiting to speak with IndyCar president, Doug Bowles here shortly to add another little facet or two to an interview we did not so long ago.
