If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.

Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.
John Andretti, Indy 2010
What a day. This place is magical. It is still the 'beginning of the season' for me but everything is starting to fall into place. This is the best month of May, ever.

Marty Reid, Las Vegas, October 16th 2011
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.

Back at the big house next weekend, kids.

Scott Dixon on losing the race and the championship, Homestead 2009
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.
