A sampling of the submissions: "After listening to last week's podcast with W Series CEO Catherine Bond Muir, what impact do you think W Series has had on women drivers looking at the road to Indy? Do you think that a collaboration could lead to the W Series giving prize money towards a Lights drive would be a good thing?" "Hi Marshall, how many of the 2021 entries do you think will be paid / paying for the privilege to be in those seats? It feels, unsurprisingly considering COVID, that there is even more expectation on driver sponsors than ever before, how hard do teams try to have their own in-house sponsors to be able to have a more open choice on drivers? Wouldn’t this be a better position for them?" "You get one meal flown in, calorie-free, from any IndyCar track.

I know in stick and ball sports there are workouts and training camps and blah blah blah, but how does an offseason translate in Motorsport?" "Hey Marshall, I am going to college for motorsports engineering. I live in Indianapolis, Indiana home of the beautiful Indy 500.

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?"

"Interesting story about Jackie Heinricher looking to run an IndyCar team. For years, only two names have been mentioned when the prospect of a woman driver came up. Is the list still Simona and Pippa, or are there other women with relevant experience that could be in that seat?" "What did they learn at the IMS test last week? Is there hope for a more competitive Indy 500 in 2021? Do you think Helio's behavior at Laguna Seca this past weekend will influence his chances at driving an Indy Car in 2021?"

If he does relatively well could it open the door for more drivers from “non-traditional” IndyCar backgrounds?" "Has Dale Coyne Racing celebrated well the season outcome? Because after having clumsily dumped Sebastien Bourdais at the end of last year, they beautifully locked in 13th and 16th spots in the 2020 final standings. Seabass got them 7th and 11th the previous years." "What are the odds Conor Daly is back at ECR next season? Or in full time role elsewhere?"

I’m sure there’s still a great deal of silliness left in this offseason, but do you see anything results wise to truly affect seat movement for 2021 with the finale?" "How close are we to a Scott McLaughlin deal being announced? His reaction after Bathurst seemed to suggest he's pretty confident of a full season next year in IndyCar." "Lately we've been hearing about some drivers burning off the rears too quickly. Herta in particular, but others as well. I assume some of this is the diff settings on non-ovals. What else enters into it?" "What will be series biggest priority in the offseason? Third engine supplier? Updated rules package for next season especially on aeroscreen? Potential chassis remake?

A sampling of the items posed this week: "Do you have any more details on the Askew situation? Was Oliver's contract a multi-year and he is being fired, or are they choosing to not resign him? Externally it is looking like Arrow or AMSP has some thin skin. Two drivers fired in two years for things they didn't like. The whole thing seems like a mess." "Do you believe that there will be a third OEM in IndyCar for the 2023 season when the new engine/chassis specs hit the track?" "MP, the announcement of Indy Lights returning next year was huge sigh of relief, and I really like the aspect of the top 3 championship finishers testing in IndyCar at the end of the year. This concept is definitely cool, but with the series current climate of more drivers than available seats, I don’t see a test doing much good moving many drivers up the ladder."

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?

A sampling of the items posed this week: "The new schedule to me is very lackluster. I feel like IndyCar should be expanding into new markets, similar to what the new NASCAR schedule is doing, instead they have a shrinking amount of ovals. Could IndyCar maybe purchase an Iowa or a Kentucky or a Chicagoland and invest in those tracks' future? Or is this an ignorant thought?" "What would you grade the replacement’s (Bourdais, Castroneves, and Hinch) performance this weekend? Do you think Helio and Hinch did well enough to earn a job next year?" "It is not my place to tell teams what they should spend money on but with the hard date for new engines + KERS in 2023, wouldn't that be the lowest cost time to switch to a new chassis instead of reworking the stock of existing chassis to fit the new engine package only to scrap them a few years later anyway?" "Do long, smoky NHRA-style burnouts leaving the pits hurt tire life through the stint?

I doubt he willingly stepped aside for the rest of the year to help the team prepare for next season, he seems like a great guy, but I don’t think any racing driver no matter how nice they are would willingly do that. As a Canadian I’m very happy to see Hinch back in the car, what are his odds of being in that seat, or at least that organization for next season?"
