  • If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.

    Tony Kanaan, St Pete's 2007

  • There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.

    Al Unser Jr.

  • We're all back to square zero!

    Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010

  • I can't control what size I am and how I'm built. All I know is the NBA doesn't lower the hoop for short guys.

    Danica Patrick, June 2005

  • I keep getting asked by Europeans, drivers also, if racing around IMS was boring an' easy. I just want to shake my head and walk away.

  • Time to go to the back row party!

    Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
