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

The wall came too close and too quickly.

She's just feeling the pressure of not winning races.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, Milwaukee 2007

I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.

The Indianapolis 500 is about the fastest 33 Indy car drivers going for one prize. If they happen to come from America, that's great.

Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.

The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.

...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.
