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

    Sarah Fisher, August 2006

    Al Unser Jr.

  • I lifted a little, but I didn't touch the brake.

    Will Power on the art of restarting, St Pete's, March 30th 2014

  • 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.

  • I've never been so happy to be in last place.

    Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007

  • It was talent and skill, that's how I did it. A masterful display of driving ability!

    Wade Cunningham on Sebastien Saavedra, Iowa 2009

  • Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!

    Helio Castroneves

  • A happy wife is a happy life!
