Welcome to the RACER Mailbag where you can send questions to any of RACER’s writers at mailbag@racer.com. Questions that include a question are more likely to be published and should be sent before 3pm each Monday to appear the following week. An example question was posed regarding Malukas returning to Meyer Shank Racing, with Marshall Pruett detailing why the move from Arrow McLaren might have been beneficial for both parties.
Pruett believes Malukas has a chance to develop and prove himself at MSR, potentially securing a permanent spot for next season. The discussion also touched on the prospect of an ‘international series’ exhibition and the challenges IndyCar faces in expanding its calendar due to existing TV commitments, notably with FOX and the NFL.
IndyCar’s partnership with Fox for broadcasting next year raises hopes and concerns among fans, with requests for realistic driver pictures, a varied lead announcer, and reduced promotions for NASCAR during IndyCar broadcasts. The wish for the return of Kelly Stavast as a pit reporter also adds to the anticipation for next year’s coverage.
