You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.
Tony Kanaan, Motegi 2007

When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!
Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011
Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.

It's just crazy. If I never won another pole, I wouldn't care. Almost.

It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.

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

Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.
Chip Ganassi on Honda, St Petersberg, March 23rd 2013
