Not bad for a part timer ;o)

We'll be fine. I'll take them to Six Flags tomorrow and we'll all be fine.

When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
What a day. This place is magical. It is still the 'beginning of the season' for me but everything is starting to fall into place. This is the best month of May, ever.

If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
It's a living, breathing, organism.

Sarah Fisher, August 2006
I can't control what size I am and how I'm built. All I know is the NBA doesn't lower the hoop for short guys.
Danica Patrick, June 2005
I promise you this: it isn't the last you've seen of me at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. My last time there will not be a day when I'm walking out with my tail between my legs.

This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.

I drove it like I stole it!
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2006
I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!

I'm throwing this one out to Dan. This is his hometown, this is his car.

Tony Kanaan at the 2009 Indianapolis 500
Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
We'd love to see Buddy Rice in a car and in the Indy 500, but as best we can tell, no driver has ever qualified for the Indy 500 from their couch.

You don't get too many times like that at the Indy 500 where you're out there and you have a chance to win the race right in front of everybody on the last lap.

Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Tom Carnegie
You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.
