  • Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!

    Tom Carnegie on A.J. Foyt, 1967

    Tony Kanaan on Marco & Danica, June 2009 at Texas Motor Speedway

  • Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?

    Dan Wheldon

  • 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

  • This is and always will be the greatest spectacle in racing. This is the Indianapolis 500.

    Will Power on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
