When you go home and you're slow, there's nothing you can do. But when you go home under these conditions it's kind of tough.

We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!

I came in not knowing what to expect. I basically fell in love with IndyCar.

Time to go to the back row party!

Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
Then again my favorite films of all time are Fast and the Furious 1 through 8 or however many of them there are.

Danica Patrick after Iowa 2009, via Twitter
It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.
