  • The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.

    TrackSideOnline, May 2009

  • There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.

    Tony Kanaan on the rumours of Dario Franchitti's retirement after Houston, 2013

  • That was for the team.
