With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.
Helio Castroneves, June 2009

Billy Boat
Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Tom Carnegie
Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.

James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015
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

Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?
