    Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011

    Sarah Fisher on keeping Josef Newgarden in her team, Racer.com, August 3rd 2015

  • ...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.

    Curt Cavin on Trackside, May 13th 2010

  • Whatever you heard, somebody made it up. For the first two days, he talked nonsense because he had a concussion. It doesn't matter what he was saying. He doesn't even remember it.

    Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
