    Dan Wheldon after finishing 2nd in the 2010 Indianapolis 500

    Mikhail Aleshin on drivers who are too scared to run the Indy 500, May 16th 2017

  • We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!
