I am stupid.

NASCAR has nothing on us. Look at the crowd at Indy – that's three Daytona 500s all in one place.
Graham Rahal on the Indianapolis 500, Racer.com, June 4th 2016
The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.

Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015

And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!
