You don't get too many times like that at the Indy 500 where you're out there and you have a chance to win the race right in front of everybody on the last lap.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
Most importantly, for the Indy 500 we'll probably be all okay, and that's cause to be happy.

Last season, we lost the championship in the last corner of the last lap of the last race to some other guy.
