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

Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
If you're an open-wheel racer and not at Indy in May, you're not really a race car driver. You just think you are.

I promise you this: it isn't the last you've seen of me at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. My last time there will not be a day when I'm walking out with my tail between my legs.

If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.

If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.
PJ Chesson
The minute he got in front of me, he slowed down half-a-second a lap because he knows I'm fighting him for the championship and he was out of the race. It's probably the most unsportsmanlike thing I've ever seen on the racetrack, apart from shunting someone into a wall.
