Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007
The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.

You know, if you're going to have an example of how not to go about things, this is 100 percent how you would do it.
Scott Dixon on Alex Palou's contract dispute, Toronto, July 15th 2022

Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.

Who is the buff guy in blue with the big #Schnozolla?
Chip Ganassi on Tony Kanaan's Family Feud appearance, via Twitter, July 26th 2016

Time to go to the back row party!

If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.
Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010

Fernando Alonso on The Indy 500, The Players Tribune, May 18th 2017
I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big
Jay Frye on the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019
Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.
