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

Will Power on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

I hope all the fans out there were as excited about that race as I am. It was awesome doing so much passing. Racing can't get any better!

This has been the best season of my career in motorsport and I've learned so much. We'll be coming back to win this thing next year.

Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety
