    A Sarah Fisher malapropism, Texas 2007

    Conor Daly on silly season rumours, Trackside, September 13th 2016

    Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010

    Will Power on testing the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019

  • Broke a glass at a restaurant. Apologize to the waiter, he looks at me, says "Accidents happen. YOU know what I mean!"

    James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015

  • That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!

    Tom Sneva

  • It's great that it's one minute after six!

    Marty Roth, Indy Bump Day 2007
