We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!

Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.

Who is the buff guy in blue with the big #Schnozolla?

Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?
Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010
Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?
