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

    Tony Kanaan, Motegi 2007

    Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009

  • I just can't wait to get back in the car. I wonder if I'm still any good.

    Will Power on the long off season, St Petersburg, March 21st 2013

    James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015
