When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!

Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011

Winning is always a great feeling, but winning at your home track, a place that you grew up at and a place that helped you fall in love with the sport of IndyCar racing... this is priceless.

I am a connoisseur of information!

She was acting like a spoiled brat. I don't respect that. I tried to step away. She kept grabbing on me like a dog that wanted to bite my ankles.

Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007

Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?

Dan Wheldon

So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!

You need to learn how to f***ing count.

Eddie Cheever Jr.

That's a good way to lose a championship.

Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007

The Indianapolis 500 is about the fastest 33 Indy car drivers going for one prize. If they happen to come from America, that's great.

That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!

The wall came too close and too quickly.

Fernando Alonso after crashing in practice, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 15th 2019

At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.

Dan Wheldon

I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.
