Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.

Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.

Brian Clauson's car got pretty beat up yesterday. It's black and blue all over

Justin Wilson on Brian Clauson's patchwork DW12, bump day, Indy 2012

She's just feeling the pressure of not winning races.

It's a living, breathing, organism.

Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.

Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug. And sometimes you have an air gun failure.

Simon Pagenaud on equipment issues, St Petersburg, March 11th 2018

It's a Top-10 but after finishing here fifth last year nothing less than that would really be satisfying because you always want more.

Downforce is the enemy of racing.

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

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

Chip Ganassi

Time to go to the back row party!

You don't get too many times like that at the Indy 500 where you're out there and you have a chance to win the race right in front of everybody on the last lap.

Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006

Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...

I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.

Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

I know a lot of people say that Iowa is in the middle of nowhere, but you know what, we get such a great crowd and they're so enthusiastic. As a driver you could put me in paradise, but if there's nobody in the grandstands then it's not good racing.

Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009

Gentlemen... restart your engines!
