MP 919: The Week In IndyCar, Aug 19, with Bryan Herta

Bryan Herta, co-owner of the pole-winning Andretti Herta Autosport No. 98 Honda driven by Marco Andretti, joins us for 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:
"Has Marco taken a different approach to this years 500 so far? Or has the car just been that good since the start?"
"What’s the inspiration for that calm, smooth-as-silk radio voice? ('clutch and coast' from ‘16, 'weight jacker' from Sunday)..."
"I heard you once say Dan Wheldon would encourage the team saying, 'C'mon boys, you've got to make me look good.' What work happens 30 days before the 500 prepping a car to make a driver look good? And, if you want to answer, what's a 500 memory of Dan you remember vividly?"
"With your son, a drummer in a Punk band, and Marco's love of Rap music, who controls the radio when you are in the car on a taco run? More importantly, what is coming out of those speakers?"

MP 917: The Week In IndyCar, Aug 17, Listener Q&A

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 12m34s mark in the episode):
"The story of the weekend seemed to be the separation between Honda and Chevrolet in qualifying times. The advantage seems to be cyclical. Did Honda teams have any idea they were going to be a class alone this time?"
"Marshall, why do the drivers move so far away from the wall on the straights at Indy? I guess air being displaced, bouncing off the wall and upsetting the car, but does that slow you down? Is the greater lap distance offset by the car not getting that resistance off the wall?"
"Was Veekay an outlier in Chevy performance who got lucky with the time he went out Saturday?"
