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.
Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016
That was the hairiest day I've ever had.

Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.

...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.

Scott Dixon on Alex Palou's contract dispute, Toronto, July 15th 2022
It's like a reunion to come back here every May. I've never retired. I always say, "I'm not done yet."
Parnelli Jones, Indy 2007
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
