    Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010

  • At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.

    Dan Wheldon

    Curt Cavin on Trackside, May 13th 2010

  • I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.

    Marco Andretti, July 2006

    Dan Wheldon

    Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2006

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

    Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005

  • Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.

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

    Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97

    Will Power on aerokits, Motorsport.com, May 4th 2016

  • I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.

    Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016

  • 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.

  • It's great that it's one minute after six!

    Marty Roth, Indy Bump Day 2007

  • When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!

    Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011
