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. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.
Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010

Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

If he thinks I'm not going to remember that, HE'S CRAZY!
