| 0:00.0 | Today in the Marshall Pruitt podcast, we have something I recorded probably four to five years ago, maybe even longer. |
| 0:11.4 | With Scott Pruitt, also known as not my brother, unrelated, but do love him like a brother. |
| 0:18.6 | It's on the topic of the strangest car he's ever raced. It's the |
| 0:23.4 | 1987 IMSA GTP Maxim chassis, M-A-X-X-U-M-A-X-U-M, run by Jack Rausch and the Raush |
| 0:33.6 | racing team using a variety of engines. I happen to see it race and I can |

| 1:27.8 | Brought to you by Cooper Tires, the Justice Brothers, Toronto Motorsports.com, and Bell Racing Helmets |
| 1:34.1 | USA here on the Marshall Pruill podcast. |
| 1:39.8 | The Maxim. |
| 1:42.0 | And that's another, and that's another, like, I mean, here I had Al Holbert offer me the low and bow ride |
| 1:49.5 | in a 962, and I stuck with Roush to drive the maximum. |
| 1:55.7 | So. |
| 1:55.9 | So that was 87-ish, I think? |
| 1:59.1 | 87, 88, yeah. |
