My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.

Fernando Alonso after crashing in practice, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 15th 2019

Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.

Chip Ganassi, Daytona 2008
I just can't wait to get back in the car. I wonder if I'm still any good.

...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.
