Graham Rahal on finishing 5th at Toronto, via Twitter, July 2010
Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.

You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.

Whether you're a fan in turn 1 or turn 4, it doesn't matter what position you have. We all make the Indianapolis 500 what it is.
