    Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

    Tom Sneva

  • You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.

    Tony Kanaan, Motegi 2007

    Tony Kanaan on Dan and Danica, Milwaukee 2007

  • The minute he got in front of me, he slowed down half-a-second a lap because he knows I'm fighting him for the championship and he was out of the race. It's probably the most unsportsmanlike thing I've ever seen on the racetrack, apart from shunting someone into a wall.

    Wade Cunningham on Sebastien Saavedra, Iowa 2009

  • 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.

  • We'll be fine. I'll take them to Six Flags tomorrow and we'll all be fine.

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

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

  • Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.
