You know, if you're going to have an example of how not to go about things, this is 100 percent how you would do it.

...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.

Time to go to the back row party!

This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.

Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Tom Carnegie

They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.

James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016

Having a pulse should make you want to attend the 500.

Beautiful chaos!

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!

I've never been so happy to be in last place.
