Graham Rahal on the carnage at Toronto, July 2011
If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.

There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.
