The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!

Chip Ganassi, Daytona 2008

What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.

Bobby Rahal on the benefits of a spec series, Racer.com, May 18th 2016

Fernando Alonso on Turn 1 commitment at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.
