It's The Week In IndyCar Listener Q&A show, driven by questions submitted by fans via social media.
A sampling of the items posed this week (Q&A begins at the 7m15s mark in the episode):
"We have a field of 33 entries for the 500. How close did Pippa, Oriol, Wilson, and Enerson actually come to making something happen this year? I assume all but Enerson had been in talks with Coyne for the seat that went to Davison?"
"I'm seeing a lot of sentiment from people wishing that the Indy 500 be canceled rather than run without fans in attendance. Could you speak to the hypothetical impact this would have on IndyCar? Because I feel like many fans lack the imagination or understanding to grasp the impact such a decision would have."
"Why is there so much variance between car performance among teams. #Mepersonally thinks that if say a Penske car sets the pole, then the rest of the cars would always be within thousandths of a second, and always between all teams. But that doesn't always happen. Is it fall off between driver talent? Car set-ups?"

Four-time Champ Car champion Sebastien Bourdais stops in for The Week In IndyCar to answer listener's questions on: His chances of landing a seat in the Indy 500; whether he expects to race for A.J. Foyt Racing later in the year; the experience of observing the season while competing in IMSA; how the dust-up with Takuma Sato at Toronto came to be; if he holds a grudge against former competitor Robert Doornbos; whether NASCAR holds and interest, and how his weekend in the No. 5 Mustang Sampling Cadillac DPi-V.R at Road America was salvaged with a fourth-place finish.

It's another packed episode of The Week In IndyCar Listener Q&A show, all driven by questions submitted via social media.
A sampling of the items posed this week (Q&A begins at the 5m47s mark in the episode):
"Marshall, is the Indy 500 in 2020 in danger of not happening? Odds? #mepersonally I am starting to get worried about it not running in 2020, given the RP mandate that it must run with fans. Follow up, how much better/worse is IMS and IndyCar financially being backed by Roger versus the HG Family?"
"The race for diversity and change could be a bit self-serving in August and help Pippa get a ride. If we're short of 33 the series could do far worse than helping Pippa Mann secure a seat. My vote would go for Simona, but we all know how hard it was for Fernando to get a visa and Kat's left leg is currently above her heart."
"I've heard that Helio Castroneves is looking to return to IndyCar full time starting next season following the Acura-Penske split in IMSA. Is this at all likely and if so, where would be the best place for him to land?"
"If Jimmie Johnson decides to race in IndyCar in any capacity, how much crossover appeal do you think he will bring? He is one of NASCAR's biggest stars, but for some reason, I don't think he will bring many new eyes over from NASCAR."

It's another packed episode of The Week In IndyCar Listener Q&A show, all driven by questions submitted via social media.
A sampling of the items posed this week (Q&A begins at the 22m00s mark in the episode):
"Of the drivers you seen throughout the years what driver made the best use of their sponsorship airtime for being slow? I use Jay Hill from 92 Detroit race as example. While off pace his Coke sponsor car would appear in the background and foreground on TV cameras finishing a serviceable 13th in his only career start."
"With Portland and Laguna cancelled; there will now be 5 races as well as Indy 500 qualifying and practice in 22 days in August; given the likelihood of high temperatures at most races. Is this asking too much of drivers and mechanics just to get a meaningful season done?"
"Why, instead of doing double headers of WWT and Mid-Ohio after the cancellation of the west coast races, couldn't IndyCar visit a couple ovals that NASCAR has, like Kansas or Kentucky, just for a change of pace? I do enjoy Mid-Ohio and WWT, I just feel like this would be a decent time to experiment."
