    Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007

    Johnny Rutherford's advice to Indy 500 rookies

  • I know a lot of people say that Iowa is in the middle of nowhere, but you know what, we get such a great crowd and they're so enthusiastic. As a driver you could put me in paradise, but if there's nobody in the grandstands then it's not good racing.

    Alexander Rossi on IndyCar, The Indy Star, September 14th 2018

  • ...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.

    Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016

    Will Power on the long off season, St Petersburg, March 21st 2013

  • The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.
