My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.
Tony Kanaan, May 2007
Everyone thinks that running in dirty air causes the front end to wash out, but actually it affects the whole car and you just can't follow someone close in fast or medium-speed corners since the aerokits came in.
Will Power on aerokits, Motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
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!

Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

I'm just so f***ing disappointed!

Parnelli Jones, Indy 2007
Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.

Heeeeeee's on it!

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.
Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007
I drove it like I stole it!
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2006
