I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.

Heeeeeee's on it!

The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.

Rinus Veekay on the Dutch flag, Twitter.com, May 25th 2021

When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!

Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011

You know, bison do seem like some very American animals.

Going into Texas with four wheels on the car is pretty exciting!

That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!

Tom Sneva

At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.
