Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
I hope all the fans out there were as excited about that race as I am. It was awesome doing so much passing. Racing can't get any better!
Graham Rahal on the Kentucky 300, August 2009
Everyone thinks that running in dirty air causes the front end to wash out, but actually it affects the whole car and you just can't follow someone close in fast or medium-speed corners since the aerokits came in.

My Father said if you are going to win one race, make sure it is the Indianapolis 500

I can't believe I'm here. It's so cool!

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!

I can tell you one thing, with 50 to go, I thought we were going to go home and close our tent.
