    Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

  • What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.

    Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009

  • Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?

    Alex Tagliani, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

    Danica Patrick, June 2005
