    Scott McLaughlin on adding power steering, via Twitter, April 26th 2021

  • You've only seen me smile here.

    Romain Grosjean on being in IndyCar, after the GMR Grand Prix, IMS, May 15th 2021

  • You need to learn how to f***ing count.

    Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97

    James Hinchcliffe on trying to beat Scott Dixon on fuel mileage, during the Bommarito Automative 500, August 27th 2023

  • It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.

    Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005

  • Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it
