  • Helio lives for this. This is his passion. He loves Indy.

    Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, June 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.

    Sebastian Saavedra, Indy Bump Day 2010, via Twitter
