I'm just so f***ing disappointed!

Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007

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

There's fathers out there. There's husbands. There's brothers, sisters. It's something that absolutely we think about. We hope for the best with it.

Charlie Kimball to Dale Jr. via Twitter, Pocono, August 23rd 2015

They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.

I can hardly believe it. Who would have thought it?!

Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500

I'm tired of being nice about it. The fact is, grip created by aerodynamic downforce is our enemy... At the moment, the downforce is so great that it masks the handling and hurts the racing

I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.

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

This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.

Roger Yasukawa, Indy 2007

There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.
