Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.
Tony Kanaan, Detroit 2007
The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.
Billy Boat
I was a craft beer and a wallet chain away from being a hipster!
James Hinchcliffe on beard growth, Tim and Sid's Plays of the Week, September 14th 2015
There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.
Al Unser Jr.
Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.

Sage Karam on everyone wanting to pick a fight with him, IndyStar.com, August 3rd 2015
I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!

I bet you'd love to drive one, you just wouldn't want to crash one!

Dan Wheldon after finishing 2nd in the 2010 Indianapolis 500
