  • Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.

    Tom Carnegie

  • When you go home and you're slow, there's nothing you can do. But when you go home under these conditions it's kind of tough.

    Alex Tagliani, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

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

    Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006

    Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011

  • Gentlemen, start your engines.

    Wilbur Shaw

  • 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.
