I wasn't thinking, 'That's Eddie [Cheever] and he's in an Infiniti and so I need to beat him.' I was thinking, 'That's Eddie, and I want to kick his ass!'

That was for the team.
Tony Kanaan, Fontana 2005
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.

You're not going to out-Dixon Dixon!

I sometimes think that Graham doesn't have the right filter for this Sport!

Simon Pagenaud on equipment issues, St Petersburg, March 11th 2018
If they want to be on the front page of USA Today, they can be my guest. If I ever want attention, I'm just going to get out of the car and beat the hell out of somebody.

You need to learn how to f***ing count.

I mean this guy can't even keep his lies straight. He's told so many in the last week, he's not sure what the truth is.

No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.

When I saw he was slowing down, I have to say it was a relief. I thought, 'Now we can finally unleash the beast inside and go for the win.'

Second place is nothing.

Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety
Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
Eyes on the starter...
Tom Carnegie

It was talent and skill, that's how I did it. A masterful display of driving ability!
