    Sebastian Saavedra, Indy Bump Day 2010, via Twitter

    PJ Chesson

  • We are unified.

    Terry Angstadt, February 22nd 2008

If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.

    Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010
