    Al Unser Jr.

  • The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.

  • Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.

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

  • Gentlemen... restart your engines!

  • And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!

    Paul Page, Michigan '99
