    Tomas Scheckter on Helio Castroneves, Detroit 2007

    PJ Chesson on Mothers Day

  • At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.

    Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007

  • It's a living, breathing, organism.

    Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015

  • I arrived in Turn 1 and I was convinced that I was doing flat out, but the foot was not flat - it had its own life, it was not connected to my brain at that moment.

    Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021

  • 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.

    Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010

  • 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.
