Summary

It's Part 2 of the Week In IndyCar Listener Q&A show, using listener-driven questions submitted via social media, with our new format of answering about an hour of prioritized submissions for those with limited time to listen before moving into overtime to handle the majority of the remaining questions. A sampling of the submissions: "MP, when you look at the overall health of the series(which feels like it is still upward trending) what is the one realistic step you think could be taken to help solidify its future? Possibly not realistic and it's expensive but a series along the lines of the F1 Drive to Survive would be amazing for recruiting fans and raising awareness. Plus a win for sponsors due to the exposure." "Hey MP, what would be the most awesome car/driver combo you can think of? How about Senna in a non-winged sprinter? Rick Mears in a group B rally car? What ridiculously silly car could we stick Alex Rossi in that would befit his ennui?" "Recently, it seems like more drivers shuffled out of F1 are considering IndyCar as an option. In the long-term, do you think this is a good thing for the series? Or is the influx of ex-F1 drivers keeping seats away from deserving Road to Indy drivers?" "MP, I was watching the 2011 Indy 500 the other day and I completely forgot about the double file restarts! What were your thoughts on them and do you think IndyCar will ever bring that back?"

0:00.0	Tonight on the Marshall Pruitt podcast, I'm going to see how far I can get into a really insane amount of questions.
0:11.5	In our part two, the week in IndyCar listener Q&A extravaganza.
0:17.9	Wow.
0:18.5	So we did part one, and usually it's an equal split between the type of questions,
0:25.5	the amount of questions we get in part one, part two. Well, uh, y'all sent in a whole bunch of
0:33.1	additional questions. Normally after we kind of cut things off, my pal, Tim Falcowitz, who puts
0:38.6	together the questions for me each week. And I said, hey, it looks like some more have come in.
0:44.0	Can we do another quick sweep? Oh, yeah. We would be doing this. How's this? The results of our
0:52.1	presidential election will likely be in before we would get to
0:58.2	finish part two here if we did every single question so i'm going to try and do this i have about an
1:05.1	hour tonight and there's no way i'm going to get to everything, but I'm going to try something new and we'll
1:12.6	just use it as a reference.
1:14.8	This is going to be a shotgun episode.
1:16.8	So unless there's something where I'm staring at the question going, wow, we really got
1:20.8	to dive into this, I'm going to do my best to just charge through, fire through, whatever through, shotgun approach as many
1:32.0	as I can get through.
1:33.2	And then I'm probably going to have to pick back up tomorrow-ish Friday and post as much
1:39.9	as I can and get it out the door.
1:42.0	So thank you again for all the amount of questions and just the quality of the questions,
1:47.9	the variety.
1:49.7	Oh, boy, really fun stuff.
1:52.6	Last quick thing, as always, we say not only thank you to you for powering the show,
