Paul Tracy on AJ Foyt, May 2009
It felt way better than I ever thought it was going to feel!

Will Power on the long off season, St Petersburg, March 21st 2013
We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!
