Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

Last season, we lost the championship in the last corner of the last lap of the last race to some other guy.

Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
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?

James Hinchcliffe on bumping at Indy, May 19th 2018

Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
