That's a good way to lose a championship.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.
Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016

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!
Ed Carpenter, July 2006
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.

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

Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, June 2007
Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.

It's like a reunion to come back here every May. I've never retired. I always say, "I'm not done yet."

For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.

The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
