Fernando Alonso on Turn 1 commitment at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009
I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.

I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.
Sam Hornish Jr on Tomas Scheckter, Texas 2005
I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!

I am a connoisseur of information!
Conor Daly on silly season rumours, Trackside, September 13th 2016
...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.

Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
