Today on the Marshall Pruill podcast, in your week in IndyCar guest episode, we have our man, the fine man, the most beautifully quaffed IndyCar driver in a really long time.

That is the, not the J.R. Ewing of Seattle, the J.R. Hildebrand of Northern California.

How are you doing, my man?

I'm good, man.

Thanks for having me on.

It's a thing.

I mean, I figured the timing's perfect.

The month of May, which has been officially

moved to the month of August, not too far away. Folks I know are indeed curious about

the plans of J.R. Hildebrand. You've also been a guy who has been pleasantly

proactive in your social media presence of late and really honest and open.

And it's been so refreshing as well.

And I know this is going to come as a surprise.

I have heard rumor that there are some people who aren't exactly that way on social

media and might actually say negative things continuing to search for evidence, Jerry Hildebrand.

But your Twitter feed in particular has been a thing that has brought some smiles. So as always,

before we get rolling with the questions delivered by our awesome listeners,

let's say thank you to some awesome folks from Cooper Tires, the Justice Brothers,

Toronto Motorsports.com, Bell Racing Helmets USA.

Mr. Hildebrand, we're going to kick things off here this week with, that's right.

Darren Dubois, curious, talking about Indy 500 preparations, wants to know if there's anything you might be doing differently since the Indy 500 is rescheduled for August.

Heat could be more of an issue.
