Romain Grosjean on his rookie season, Laguna Seca, September 19th 2021
This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.

If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.
Tony Kanaan, St Pete's 2007

And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!
Paul Page, Michigan '99
I get one more opportunity to head into the defining racing venue of my career with a single, achievable goal: Win.

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.
Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010
Every podium tastes like glory and every victory more so.

Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.
