I hope all the fans out there were as excited about that race as I am. It was awesome doing so much passing. Racing can't get any better!
Graham Rahal on the Kentucky 300, August 2009
I'm tired of being nice about it. The fact is, grip created by aerodynamic downforce is our enemy... At the moment, the downforce is so great that it masks the handling and hurts the racing

Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

Jack Harvey on the Indianapolis 500, indianapolismotorspeedway.com, February 21st 2019
I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.

He's grounded.

You've only seen me smile here.

You know, bison do seem like some very American animals.
