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

...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.

F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!

Billy Boat
It's a new... track... record!
Tom Carnegie
Second place is nothing.
Marco Andretti, Indy 2006

Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2007

I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.
Scott Dixon on losing the race and the championship, Homestead 2009

Tony Kanaan at the 2009 Indianapolis 500
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.
Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016
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.
