Today in the Marshall Pruill podcast, we're going to finally get to part two of your week in IndyCar listener Q&A episode.

I'll brought to you by Cooper Tires and the Justice Brothers, Toronto Motorsports.com, and Bell Racing Helmets, USA.

Can't go into any specifics on this yet.

She had a breakthrough on Friday that it,

And I spent the majority of the day fighting back tears because it was just so powerful and meaningful and representative
