    Tony Kanaan on Dan and Danica, Milwaukee 2007

    Graham Rahal on the carnage at Toronto, July 2011

    TrackSideOnline, May 2009

  • It's just great, pure racing.

    Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015

  • 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.

    Wade Cunningham on Sebastien Saavedra, Iowa 2009

  • I was going through there as hard as I could. It was for everything. It was for all the marbles.
