    Roger Penske on his older two drivers, motorsport.com, March 22nd 2016

    Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000

    Curt Cavin on Trackside, May 13th 2010

  • F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!

    Dan Wheldon

  • The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.
