Connor Daly, June 6th 2013, via Twitter
My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.

Sebastien Bourdais on the flip side of the Coyne, NBCSports.com, November 22nd 2019

Scott Dixon on marriage at the Carb Night Burger Bash, 2015
The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.

With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.
