  • The walls are white, the track is grey, the grass is green, and the sky is blue... your job is to keep them all where they belong.

    Conor Daly on silly season rumours, Trackside, September 13th 2016

    Will Power on aerokits, Motorsport.com, May 4th 2016

  • It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.
