  • If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.

    PJ Chesson

    Graham Rahal on the Indianapolis 500, Racer.com, June 4th 2016

  • You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.

    Tony Kanaan, Motegi 2007

    Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016

    Curt Cavin with a new twist on an old saying, GP of Baltimore 2013
