And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!

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
Then again my favorite films of all time are Fast and the Furious 1 through 8 or however many of them there are.
Conor Daly on underglow. Via Twitter, July 16th 2020

If he thinks I'm not going to remember that, HE'S CRAZY!

I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.
Kurt St. Angelo on the IndyCarFanZone fantasy league, Twitter, September 14th 2022

I came in not knowing what to expect. I basically fell in love with IndyCar.

You need to learn how to f***ing count.

Marco Andretti on getting older, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 18th 2023, via Twitter
I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.

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