Welcome to the Marshall Proop Podcast. Try something new here with our week in IndyCar offerings.

A little something going to try call the setup. Do that as a compliment leading into races.

Don't know if we're going to do these race previews before every event. Definitely going to keep doing our post-race analysis, insights, and awards.

Probably start calling that the set-down.

As the old race car mechanic and engineer, that was our lives.

Roll the car onto the setup pad before the session, after the session, qualifying after the race,

get the car back on the setup pad, do a set down, take a look at all

the numbers, see what's changed, what stayed the same. So we'll probably just work within that

convention here. So welcome to the inaugural episode of the setup. Going into the Children's of

Alabama, Indie Grand Prix, Barber Motorsports Park, one of my favorite tracks, favorite

venues, just favorite trips, knowing that my wife, an amazing product of Alabama,

getting to go to her home state, always makes me feel really happy. So big thanks,

as always, to y'all for subscribing, for watching,

knowing that we've been back in a bit of a medical fight at home.

Appreciate it for so many of you who've just sent really nice notes, been so encouraging.

So let's get into motor racing. Let's get into our first setup episode here, and there's a reason I wanted to do

this launching into Barber. Well, granted, I would have loved to have done it earlier in the season

and think of it till now. But the reason I really wanted to do this going into Barber,

a couple of main topics to hit. One of them is going to be really a further and more expansive,

are they real? Are they real?

Are you real?

The teams are going to be looking to Barbara to tell me whether they are true and indeed championship contending material.
