And in 7 hours off to NYC!! Can't believe. Don't want to sleep thinking I'm gonna wake up from a dream.

Alex Palou on the calibre of competition in IndyCar, September 5th 2023, via Marca.com

Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000

I need a nap now.

F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!
Dan Wheldon
I am stupid.
Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020
