Q: It sounds like I have an insight that Jay Fryes came out, but did you suddenly be expelled behind the stage? I understand that Mark Miles can’t disclose the details of the staff, but it will be interesting to know what it suddenly led to the launch when the season begins.
I think there is a question about Zum’s question about whether Indica is responsible for growth. Dug Boles seems to be doing great things and is respected by competitors and fans, but I wonder if Penske Entertainment is responsible for the growth of marketing and lace. Promotion is out of his control.
Did you provide additional feedback that people in a series or pensile entertainment can share? Did the team owner give feedback about Boles’s dual role? We definitely want him well.

Marshall Pruett: From yesterday and yesterday, about half of the owners/leaders and many drivers have asked why and why. It is said that people who know the most on the ranch, who deal with Fry themselves scratched their heads and did not get the correct answer for Penske Entertainment.
Nobody provides an answer, but it is suspected of repeated opinion mismatches where the Penske’s Executive Steering Committee is trying to bring a new car. I heard that Frye routinely defended the cost -saving compromise, which can be delivered as a ‘new’ design.
Certainly, new bathtubs and weights require different components, but FRYE was pushing compromise, and Penske EXECS is pushing a completely new car. And many of us will like 100 %of new cars, but the above costs are attracting attention for the cost of Rev Limiter.
I think his latest SALVO is trying to talk about a new vehicle conversation on Penske and to be far from where EXECS is taking. I know that an email is sent a few days before his launch, and the press release was written until Monday and the wheel was terminated on Tuesday morning. Coincidence? If so, you can’t explain the bizarre timing without knowing why that happened.
Q: I wrote in Mailbag a while ago about the possibility of doug boles completely acquired INDYCAR. When you read the news, you should say that you should be excited about the future of Indycar. The future is brighter if he has a passion for indica than he is about IMS.
What is the three projects that Boles can work now?

Mp: Good questions, kaleb. Three biggest problems to solve with Indycar of Penske Entertainment:
1) Fans will be fans. This means that more than half of the audience will disappear in 10-15 years unless it covers the audience with a big wave of new fans and young fans. As you talk, ‘father time is undefeated’.
2) Honda will bring nine toes out of the door when the supply contract is fulfilled after 2026. Do you have a chance to persuade penske/boles to stay? of course. But it feels starting HONDA is Lauren Holly and PensKe is Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumb..
3) The cost is close to half of the team (more than five out of the current 11). Reduce costs, noticeably or significantly increases sales. Preferably both do it. But doing nothing is not an option.
This is not because Boles lacked one thing depending on Jay Fryes, but because Penske gradually deprived the right to make a decision in the same way while operating Indycar for the Hulman George family.
He also blinded me. He knew he was in a hot place, but he was stunned by the launch and did not answer the answer from Mile Mile.
Doug is amazing. I think of his world. My frustration of the treatment of Frye is entirely not associated with boles. This was just cold and for 12 years, he wrote his life to Indycar and left a list of big achievements. And as I said about Boles, he was perfect for this job because he wanted Penske but did not get it with Frye because he was to perform his vision and add his ideas and senses. His predecessor.
DOUG has supervised a lot of amazing things in the IMS since Penske bought it, and it is expected that there will be the same cohesive approach in Indycar, just as Penske’s wish is executed in Speedway.
BOLES had a big impact on Speedway. Can he expand the magic touch to the entire Indycar series? Jake Galstad/Motorsport Image
Q: Is there an update for where Michael Cannon can land? I want him to return to Foyt as he works well, but it sounds like they’re not over. The best term.

MP: Horticulture vacation. I heard that the prema trading was provided with a 12 -month non -competition clause, and it was cut in half, but nevertheless, it would nevertheless forcing his availability that he could work in other indie cars beyond Indie 500 when he commanded it. Will. Most interest in the ranch.
Q: We all like Dug Boles, but considering that FRYE has become too close when the season begins, FRYE doesn’t seem to agree with Penske.
I’m sure I know that Doug is swimming with sharks before doing Jay’s work, but I wonder what Indycar’s growth was planted on his shoulder.
Jake
MP: We share the same curiosity, Jake. But growth is not planted on his shoulders. The executives of Penske Entertainment are in charge of it. In terms of Gyeongju, the series was sitting in a company in 27 vehicles and could be 29-30 unless it was a charter system, so the former president should have been positive.
There is another aspect to consider, and this is the way that Penske pursues the replacement of Fry last year, and in late 2024, he refused them in the perfect source that at least two people refused. Penske has decided that the change should be made, so I am pleased to have been asked for DOUG to withdraw its duty. It is not surprising that jobs have already been paid to those who have already received salary.
