MP 1662: The Week In IndyCar Jan 9 2026

It's The Week In IndyCar Listener Q&A show, which uses listener-driven comments and questions covering a variety of topics submitted by open-wheel fans via social media.

TOPICS:

1. Car weight questions (How will weight be distributed? Will new, lighter car set track records?) 2. Coyne questions (Any idea as to when we'll know the second driver? Does delay favor Lundqvist? Do people appreciate how many great drivers got their start with DCR?) 3. Dreyer and Reinbold questions (Should series be flexible with engine charters? Do they have a possible full-time opportunity with engine charters.) 4. Should we read anything into Veekay's appearance at the Detroit Auto Show? 5. What does Malukas have to do to prove himself at Penske? 6. Any Prema updates? 7. Why did you leave the crew side of the sport to write about it?
