I know a lot of people say that Iowa is in the middle of nowhere, but you know what, we get such a great crowd and they're so enthusiastic. As a driver you could put me in paradise, but if there's nobody in the grandstands then it's not good racing.
Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009
I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!

As a past driver, I'd answer the phone if Roger or Chip called...

Robin Miller on Kevin Kalkoven, February 2008
This is and always will be the greatest spectacle in racing. This is the Indianapolis 500.
