I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.

We won a 500-mile race - not the right one, but we won a 500-miler...

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

Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.

Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
I was a craft beer and a wallet chain away from being a hipster!

Time to go to the back row party!

...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.

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

It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.

3-horse chase. Power, Dixie and GR
Curt Cavin with a new twist on an old saying, GP of Baltimore 2013
