Graham Rahal on the carnage at Toronto, July 2011
It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers.

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.
