It's just crazy. If I never won another pole, I wouldn't care. Almost.

With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.
Helio Castroneves, June 2009
Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.

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.

I'm the happiest guy on earth right now!
