Throttle Therapy with Katherine Legge

Katherine Legge welcomes Marshall Pruett back for a part two focused on IndyCar’s underlying state, who holds power, and how series decisions mix racing, business, and politics. They discuss IndyCar’s demographic, the push to “youthify” via digital platforms, and what IndyCar, IMSA, and NASCAR can learn from each other about cars, drivers, and event presentation. Pruett explains how he evaluates rumors, PR spin, timing, and when to withhold accurate stories to avoid undue harm.

Kyle shares his experiences attempting the Indy 500–Coca-Cola 600 double, covering logistics, pressure, weather disruption, and the IndyCar hybrid learning curve, and gives Katherine advice on her attempt.
