Al Unser Jr.
The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.
Mario Andretti
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!

You need to learn how to f***ing count.
Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97
