There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.

Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.
Tom Carnegie
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.

That was the hairiest day I've ever had.

When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!
