It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.

I lifted a little, but I didn't touch the brake.
Will Power on the art of restarting, St Pete's, March 30th 2014
The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.
Billy Boat
It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
As a past driver, I'd answer the phone if Roger or Chip called...

You don't pay me to run second.
Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006
There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.
Al Unser Jr.
Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
I'm the happiest guy on earth right now!

Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
You need to learn how to f***ing count.

Back at the big house next weekend, kids.

Graham Rahal on winning at Mid-Ohio, Instagram, August 3rd 2015
