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. It has to come from the at-track facilities, you don't get to go up the street to the Mug and Bun. What food from what track?"

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?"

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?

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?"

"Which drivers surprised you this year, either good or bad? #mepersonally, Alex Palou did really well, and Simon Pagenaud was largely anonymous." "Hi Marshall, do you think swapping Laguna Seca and St Pete next year would lead to a similarly wild finale next year?

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?

Ep 837MP 959: The Week In IndyCar, Oct 13, Listener Q&A
EIt's Part 1 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: "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."
