• I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.

    Chip Ganassi

  • 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.

    Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006

  • Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.

    Chip Ganassi on Honda, St Petersberg, March 23rd 2013

    Tony Kanaan at the 2009 Indianapolis 500

  • There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.
