Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009

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.

It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.

Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
