If he thinks I'm not going to remember that, HE'S CRAZY!

You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.
Tony Kanaan, Motegi 2007
We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!

It's a living, breathing, organism.

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

Will Power on aerokits, Motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.

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.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.

I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!
Ed Carpenter, July 2006
I am stupid.
Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020
