With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.

I'm a moving chicane out here!

Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?

If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.

When you go home and you're slow, there's nothing you can do. But when you go home under these conditions it's kind of tough.

Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
