I really wish I'd gone to college and got a proper job!

Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.

I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.
Kurt St. Angelo on the IndyCarFanZone fantasy league, Twitter, September 14th 2022
To finish first you must first finish.

I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.

Hope you're all snug in your beds, while Indycars dance in your head...

I'm the happiest guy on earth right now!
