Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
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.

Every podium tastes like glory and every victory more so.

Graham Rahal on winning at Mid-Ohio, Instagram, August 3rd 2015
Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.

Downforce is the enemy of racing.
Rick Mears, Motorsport.com, September 15th 2016
If they want to be on the front page of USA Today, they can be my guest. If I ever want attention, I'm just going to get out of the car and beat the hell out of somebody.

When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!
Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011
I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.

I'm a moving chicane out here!

I was going through there as hard as I could. It was for everything. It was for all the marbles.
