It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.

My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.

This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.

Let's wait and watch.

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.

Eyes on the starter...

...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.

The walls are white, the track is grey, the grass is green, and the sky is blue... your job is to keep them all where they belong.

Downforce is the enemy of racing.

Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.
Tony Kanaan, Detroit 2007
If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.
Ryan Hunter-Reay on canopies, Racer Magazine, 15 September 2014
I don't know him at all. Is he in his own little world?
Kevin Lee on Jacques Villeneuve, Trackside, August 2012
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
I mean this guy can't even keep his lies straight. He's told so many in the last week, he's not sure what the truth is.
Robin Miller on Kevin Kalkoven, February 2008
I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.
Dan Wheldon, Homestead test 2007
I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.

This has been the best season of my career in motorsport and I've learned so much. We'll be coming back to win this thing next year.
