We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!

Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.

I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.
Jean Alesi, Bump Day, Indy 2012

I've never been so happy to be in last place.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021

The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.

It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.

When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!
