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.

Back at the big house next weekend, kids.

If someone said choose one race to win, just one, and that was the only race you ever got to win, it would be the Indy 500.

The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.
