It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
We'd love to see Buddy Rice in a car and in the Indy 500, but as best we can tell, no driver has ever qualified for the Indy 500 from their couch.
TrackSideOnline, May 2009

I plan to be here hopefully until I'm into my 40s, and to accomplish something like Scott has done.

We'll be fine. I'll take them to Six Flags tomorrow and we'll all be fine.
