Billy Boat
Going into Texas with four wheels on the car is pretty exciting!
Sarah Fisher after the 2009 Indianapolis 500

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

There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.

At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.

You need to learn how to f***ing count.
