Beautiful chaos!
David Malukas on the racing at Texas Motor Speedway, April 2nd 2023

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

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

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.
