    James Hinchcliffe on beard growth, Tim and Sid's Plays of the Week, September 14th 2015

    Mario Andretti

    Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021

    Tomas Scheckter on Helio Castroneves, Detroit 2007

    Tony Kanaan, Detroit 2007

  • Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!

    Tom Carnegie on A.J. Foyt, 1967

  • It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.

    Graham Rahal on the Kentucky 300, August 2009

  • When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!

    Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011

    Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007

  • I miss my fans so much, you have no idea. I think I appreciate them more then I ever did.
