That was the hairiest day I've ever had.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.

I'm just so f***ing disappointed!

He said its the best team out there. If its the best team, he shouldn't have a problem.

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

If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.
