With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.
Helio Castroneves, June 2009
My mom hasn't played much of a role in my racing career. In fact, I think she still wants me to join the Coast Guard. But I still love her.
PJ Chesson on Mothers Day
It was talent and skill, that's how I did it. A masterful display of driving ability!

I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.
Helio Castroneves on the return to road courses
If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.
Ryan Hunter-Reay on canopies, Racer Magazine, 15 September 2014
It's just great, pure racing.
Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015
I'm a little rough around the edges like him and I say what I feel, there's no B.S. and that's one of the things I've always admired about him.

That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!

I am a connoisseur of information!

Everyone thinks that running in dirty air causes the front end to wash out, but actually it affects the whole car and you just can't follow someone close in fast or medium-speed corners since the aerokits came in.
Will Power on aerokits, Motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.

As a past driver, I'd answer the phone if Roger or Chip called...

When I saw he was slowing down, I have to say it was a relief. I thought, 'Now we can finally unleash the beast inside and go for the win.'
Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000

Will Power on the long off season, St Petersburg, March 21st 2013
It's like a reunion to come back here every May. I've never retired. I always say, "I'm not done yet."
