Marty Reid, Las Vegas, October 16th 2011
...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.

I'm a little rough around the edges like him and I say what I feel, there's no B.S. and that's one of the things I've always admired about him.
Paul Tracy on AJ Foyt, May 2009
Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?

Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009
Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.

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