A.J. Foyt on his Indy 500 winner's ring, Detroit, June 3rd 2016
I'm tired of being nice about it. The fact is, grip created by aerodynamic downforce is our enemy... At the moment, the downforce is so great that it masks the handling and hurts the racing
Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
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.

Charlie Kimball to Dale Jr. via Twitter, Pocono, August 23rd 2015
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.

Dan Wheldon after finishing 2nd in the 2010 Indianapolis 500
They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.
James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016

Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
And in 7 hours off to NYC!! Can't believe. Don't want to sleep thinking I'm gonna wake up from a dream.

If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.
PJ Chesson
My mom hasn't played much of a role in my racing career. In fact, I think she still wants me to join the Coast Guard. But I still love her.
