    Curt Cavin on Graham Rahal speaking his mind, Traxkaide, May 23rd 2023

    Curt Cavin on Trackside, May 13th 2010

  • And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!

    Paul Page, Michigan '99

  • We're all back to square zero!

    James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014

    Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021

  • 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!

    Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016
