    Tony Kanaan at the 2009 Indianapolis 500

    Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007

  • Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...

    Tom Carnegie

    James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014

  • 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.

    Tony Stewart, May 2007

  • I'm tired of being nice about it. The fact is, grip created by aerodynamic downforce is our enemy... At the moment, the downforce is so great that it masks the handling and hurts the racing

    Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015

    Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005

  • F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!

    Dan Wheldon

  • I'm a moving chicane out here!

    Juan Pablo Montoya, lap 42 at St Pete's, March 30th 2014

    Chip Ganassi on Honda, St Petersberg, March 23rd 2013

  • The minute he got in front of me, he slowed down half-a-second a lap because he knows I'm fighting him for the championship and he was out of the race. It's probably the most unsportsmanlike thing I've ever seen on the racetrack, apart from shunting someone into a wall.
