Whether you're a fan in turn 1 or turn 4, it doesn't matter what position you have. We all make the Indianapolis 500 what it is.

Tomas Scheckter on Helio Castroneves, Detroit 2007
We'd love to see Buddy Rice in a car and in the Indy 500, but as best we can tell, no driver has ever qualified for the Indy 500 from their couch.
TrackSideOnline, May 2009
When you go home and you're slow, there's nothing you can do. But when you go home under these conditions it's kind of tough.
