    TrackSideOnline, May 2009

  • I bet you'd love to drive one, you just wouldn't want to crash one!

    Fernando Alonso on The Indy 500, The Players Tribune, May 18th 2017

  • The toughest people out there passing me are my teammates, and I don't get that. I think three of the four of us get what the camaraderie of Andretti Green Racing is.

    Marco Andretti on an unidentified teammate after Milwaukee 2009
