  • I wasn't thinking, 'That's Eddie [Cheever] and he's in an Infiniti and so I need to beat him.' I was thinking, 'That's Eddie, and I want to kick his ass!'

    Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000

  • I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.

    Fernando Alonso after crashing in practice, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 15th 2019

    Fernando Alonso on what his mother would think about the Indy 500, motor.as.com, April 20th 2016
