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

Josef Newgarden on finishing 7th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020
I wasn't thinking, 'That's Eddie [Cheever] and he's in an Infiniti and so I need to beat him.' I was thinking, 'That's Eddie, and I want to kick his ass!'

Tony Stewart, May 2007
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.
