    Ryan Hunter-Reay on canopies, Racer Magazine, 15 September 2014

    James Hinchcliffe after his first career victory, St. Petersburg, March 24th 2013

    Curt Cavin with a new twist on an old saying, GP of Baltimore 2013

  • My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.

  • The minute he got in front of me, he slowed down half-a-second a lap because he knows I'm fighting him for the championship and he was out of the race. It's probably the most unsportsmanlike thing I've ever seen on the racetrack, apart from shunting someone into a wall.

    Wade Cunningham on Sebastien Saavedra, Iowa 2009

  • 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.
