Summary

It's Part 2 of the Week In IndyCar Listener Q&A show as we dive into a bunch of questions submitted via social media. A sampling of the items posed this week: "More on the Leaders Circle $1m please. How do the three teams approach St. Pete? Marco has to be aggressive, take strategy risks, but do Foyt and ECR play it safe? Especially ECR. Do they bolt on a 'safe' setup so the car isn't a handful, pit early in the windows, and tell Conor to just bring it home?" "Does Scott Dixion wish the season ended on road course or oval vs street course? Understand it's his championship to lose but I feel Newgarden will have the advantage. As he has two killers for teammates vs Dixon has hit or miss Felix and Ericsson hasn't been strong at all to help. Couple with Dixon unusual qualifying slumps last few rounds could lead him starting mid-pack. Which means he could be in #dangerzone in concrete canyons. Your thoughts?" "Couple weeks ago you mentioned Juan Montoya had talked to a couple teams about returning to IndyCar, do you have anymore news on that front? Do you happen to know if its for a full time or part time ride, and whats you opinion on what team(s) you think he'd be a good fit for?"

0:00.0	Today in the Marshall Proop podcast, we're going to get to your week in IndyCar listener
0:06.9	Q&A, part two.
0:09.6	I'm going to do as we just did in part one.
0:12.8	We're going to do the main body of your questions, of which you know it.
0:17.8	There are plenty.
0:19.1	And then going to signal when we have overtime.
0:22.6	And we're only at about 2,000 words here. So, yeah, going to get about an hour, hour 15 in,
0:29.8	and call it done for the main show. And if you want to hear more questions answered, well,
0:36.1	stick around for the overtime.
0:38.2	So between recording part one and starting to record part two here, Wednesday evening
0:45.3	at 5.17 p.m., in a kind of overcast and still a little bit smoky Northern California,
0:52.3	oh, we're chasing a lot of news, friends. And some of it
0:56.4	known, some of it a bit surprising. Can't go into it here because I haven't written about it yet.
1:02.5	My clients pay me to write about it first. So just sharing that I'm hoping, if I'm not too
1:08.8	terrible at my job, might be able to get one or two of these things over the finish line.
1:13.5	But as I mentioned before on the show, when folks have something to hide or they don't want to share,
1:20.9	and they think you might know about it, and they see your name pop up on a call or a text.
1:28.8	It's not surprised when they don't answer and don't respond.
1:32.4	So dealing with that, it's absolutely normal.
1:35.7	Nothing personal against those who aren't exactly being snappy with their responses.
1:41.3	It's part of the cat and mouse.
1:42.7	Admittedly, it's part of why I love doing this job as a reporter.
