Tom Carnegie
Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.
A Sarah Fisher malapropism, Texas 2007
The day started when I walked into Gasoline Alley and saw the grandstands. It was my first time here on race day and it was quite unbelievable.

It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.
Tony Kanaan at the 2009 Indianapolis 500
The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.

Cheever had a problem with my dad, he had a problem with me, and now he's taking it out on Marco.

My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.

Last season, we lost the championship in the last corner of the last lap of the last race to some other guy.
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
That's a cool shot of the glowing brake disc!

If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.

...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.

Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.

Downforce is the enemy of racing.
Rick Mears, Motorsport.com, September 15th 2016

Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.
