There's fathers out there. There's husbands. There's brothers, sisters. It's something that absolutely we think about. We hope for the best with it.

I am a connoisseur of information!

That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!

Everyone thinks that running in dirty air causes the front end to wash out, but actually it affects the whole car and you just can't follow someone close in fast or medium-speed corners since the aerokits came in.
Will Power on aerokits, Motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.

Back at the big house next weekend, kids.

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

Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.

No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.

Curt Cavin on Graham Rahal speaking his mind, Traxkaide, May 23rd 2023
