    Wade Cunningham on Sebastien Saavedra, Iowa 2009

    Tony Kanaan on the rumours of Dario Franchitti's retirement after Houston, 2013

    Rick Mears, Motorsport.com, September 15th 2016

    Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97

  • Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?

    James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015
