Marty Reid, Las Vegas, October 16th 2011
I remember the first year I raced here, I took pictures of the entrance. I was taking pictures. I hoped one day to race here in May.

I was going through there as hard as I could. It was for everything. It was for all the marbles.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.

When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!
Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011
You're not going to out-Dixon Dixon!
James Hinchcliffe on trying to beat Scott Dixon on fuel mileage, during the Bommarito Automative 500, August 27th 2023
Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety
Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015

I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.

I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.

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