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.
Billy Boat
That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!
Tom Sneva
I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.

I can tell you one thing, with 50 to go, I thought we were going to go home and close our tent.
Roger Penske, Indy 2006
Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?

He's grounded.

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!
Paul Tracy on lax penalties for avoidable contact, Long Beach 2014
I arrived in Turn 1 and I was convinced that I was doing flat out, but the foot was not flat - it had its own life, it was not connected to my brain at that moment.

I'm a moving chicane out here!

Scott Dixon on Alex Palou's contract dispute, Toronto, July 15th 2022
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
Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
I'm tired of being nice about it. The fact is, grip created by aerodynamic downforce is our enemy... At the moment, the downforce is so great that it masks the handling and hurts the racing

You've only seen me smile here.

Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.

The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!

Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.

We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!
