    Graham Rahal on the Indianapolis 500, Racer.com, June 4th 2016

  • 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.

    Tony Kanaan on Marco & Danica, June 2009 at Texas Motor Speedway
