    Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009

  • I mean this guy can't even keep his lies straight. He's told so many in the last week, he's not sure what the truth is.

    Robin Miller on Kevin Kalkoven, February 2008

  • The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.

    Buddy Lazier on the Indy 500

    Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016

  • Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.
