E

It's a new episode of The Week In IndyCar show, with questions submitted from fans via social media. Among the items covered: "I've seen pictures of the Menards Lolas with their 'hunchback' engine covers, with an aesthetic anomaly caused by the height of their engines. These were Buick V6s, correct? Did the size of the Honda and Chevy engines have any impact on the aesthetics of the universal aerokits? Or was the engine packaging tight enough that designers had free reign? Are there any cars that you can think of that were weirdly and/or negatively impacted by their engine packaging?" "I am liking the iRaces but can you speak about the business model behind it, are drivers actually contracted to their team to do this, is there even an 'e-sports' stipulation in their contract? freelancing? And how were the ratings this week, when the races were on YouTube again?" "MP, if you were to replace the characters in the TV show The A-Team with Indy car drivers who would you pick for Face, Murdock, BA and Hannibal? #mepersonally I see Will Power as a great Murdock."

Ep 673MP 795: The Week In IndyCar, April 15, Listener Q&A

E

It's a new episode of The Week In IndyCar show, with questions submitted from fans via social media. Among the items covered: "What are the chances of getting Kyle Larson as a teammate for Santino Ferrucci? Santino can help him repair his image and they’d tear up IndyCar. Stupid what Larson said and he should face consequences, but I believe in second chances. What say you Marshall?" "I know a venue has to be financially feasible for IndyCar to race there. That said, with the cancellation of the Detroit GP, has there been any discussion of a race at Michigan International Speedway replacing Detroit for 2020? Is it even remotely feasible to speculate about? I noticed the official IndyCar Twitter account acknowledged that they saw the desire expressed by fans over the past week to return to MIS." "Marshall, can you think of any positives that might come from the delay of the IndyCar season. For #mepersonally it seems like there might be more of a willingness of the sanctioning bodies to work together to get races scheduled and ran and I’m sure once the IndyCar season starts nobody will be bitching about the aeroscreen anymore." "We all know every bodies house has its own 'smell.' As we know that Bourdais' house most likely smells like French fries or French toast, and yours probably smells like hamburger and a hint of cats, what do you think some other IndyCar drivers houses smell is? I'm pretty sure Rossi's smells like new carpet, because hes seems like the type of person to buy new carpet every year. And I think Conor Daly seems like it would smell like Doritos from all his sim racing time." Listener Q&A begins at the 4m17s mark in the episode.

Ep 658MP 780: Racing In The Shadow of September 11--The IRL's Postponed Season Finale

E

The Indy Racing League’s season finale was meant to take place on Sunday, September 16. Rescheduled for October 6, the Chevy 500 at Texas Motor Speedway was a somber affair, as were most sporting events in the weeks that followed the attacks of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. In some ways, the feel of sports taking a back seat to the needs of the world isn’t too far removed from what we’re experiencing today with the coronavirus. Racing—our passion, our love—put in its rightful place, just as it was in the weeks between September 11 and October 6, 2001. In a special feature on The Marshall Pruett Podcast, former IRL president Brian Barnhart, TMS president Eddie Gossage, and 2001 IRL champion Sam Hornish take us back to the last time when North American racing was postponed due to matters greater than competition and entertainment.
