    Michael Andretti, Watkins Glen 2006

    Alex Tagliani, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

  • It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.

    Graham Rahal on the Indianapolis 500, Racer.com, June 4th 2016

  • Brian Clauson's car got pretty beat up yesterday. It's black and blue all over
