Romain Grosjean on his rookie season, Laguna Seca, September 19th 2021
It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.
Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010
He said its the best team out there. If its the best team, he shouldn't have a problem.

The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.

I can't control what size I am and how I'm built. All I know is the NBA doesn't lower the hoop for short guys.
Danica Patrick, June 2005
If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.
Tony Kanaan, St Pete's 2007
She probably does not know what that is, so I can say I'm going to Las Vegas to play poker and she'll think it's something like that!
Fernando Alonso on what his mother would think about the Indy 500, motor.as.com, April 20th 2016

Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
Broke a glass at a restaurant. Apologize to the waiter, he looks at me, says "Accidents happen. YOU know what I mean!"

Will Power on testing the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019

Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

PJ Chesson on Mothers Day
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.

I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!

Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
We'll see how it unfolds, and we're going to have to give each other respect and the space on the track.

I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!

Whatever you heard, somebody made it up. For the first two days, he talked nonsense because he had a concussion. It doesn't matter what he was saying. He doesn't even remember it.
