today at the Marshall Proop podcast we have your week in IndyCar guest episode with our man

Michael Andretti Michael thanks for making some time here yeah my pleasure to be on say thank you

as well to Cooper Tires and the Justice brothers Toronto Motorsports..com, and Bell Racing Helmix USA.

And Michael, we've got half a day's worth of questions.

So I don't know if you know this, it seems to like you.

compressed weekend quick go-go-go, go type things with no fans?

Or would you rather wait until we were all clear to have full events pre-COVID?

When we ran there, I think it was really important for us to get on track and start to put all this COVID stuff behind us,

hopefully.

Because there's beyond entertainment, Michael, there is a real business need here too, right?

And obviously not asking you to get into your financials, but you have sponsors,
