Ed Carpenter to Tony Kanaan on the suggestion that he was over 40, Gateway, August 24th 2019

Everyone wants to pick a fight with me. Whatever.

Jimmie Johnson on his first oval test at Texas Motor Speedway, via Twitter, August 30th 2020
There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.

My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.

Marco Andretti on getting older, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 18th 2023, via Twitter
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?

You need to learn how to f***ing count.
