Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

Alexander Rossi, Autosport.com, April 26th 2017

TrackSideOnline, May 2009
This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.

I'm a moving chicane out here!

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. 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.
