That was for the team.

The toughest people out there passing me are my teammates, and I don't get that. I think three of the four of us get what the camaraderie of Andretti Green Racing is.
Marco Andretti on an unidentified teammate after Milwaukee 2009
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.

Sarah Fisher on keeping Josef Newgarden in her team, Racer.com, August 3rd 2015

Will Power on losing to Dario Franchitti, Homestead, 2010
They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.

I bet you'd love to drive one, you just wouldn't want to crash one!
Charlie Kimball to Dale Jr. via Twitter, Pocono, August 23rd 2015

Tom Carnegie
...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.
Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.
