Michael Andretti, Watkins Glen 2006
Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?

Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016

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

Hope you're all snug in your beds, while Indycars dance in your head...

Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.
