MP 894: The Week In IndyCar, August 11, 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 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?"

MP 892: The Week In IndyCar, August 6, with Sebastien Bourdais

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.

MP 891: The Week In IndyCar, Aug 4, Listener Q&A

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."
