I am stupid.
Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020
I'm tired of being nice about it. The fact is, grip created by aerodynamic downforce is our enemy... At the moment, the downforce is so great that it masks the handling and hurts the racing
Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
Everyone wants to pick a fight with me. Whatever.

It's a living, breathing, organism.

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
You've only seen me smile here.

Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.

Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007
Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.
A Sarah Fisher malapropism, Texas 2007
And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!

Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety

The walls are white, the track is grey, the grass is green, and the sky is blue... your job is to keep them all where they belong.
