What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.

The walls are white, the track is grey, the grass is green, and the sky is blue... your job is to keep them all where they belong.

Sarah Fisher after the 2009 Indianapolis 500
If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.

I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.
