Every podium tastes like glory and every victory more so.

I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!

Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?
Dan Wheldon
Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it

Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.

This track, believe it or not, has done worse to me in the past, and we came back swinging.

I keep getting asked by Europeans, drivers also, if racing around IMS was boring an' easy. I just want to shake my head and walk away.

This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.

Not bad for a part timer ;o)
