  • Gentlemen... restart your engines!

    Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004

  • She's just feeling the pressure of not winning races.

    Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, Milwaukee 2007

  • That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!

    Tom Sneva

    James Hinchcliffe on what should make you want to attend the 500, via Twitter, April 2012
