I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.

I didn't leave. I was terminated.
Sebastien Bourdais on the flip side of the Coyne, NBCSports.com, November 22nd 2019

Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.

I'm just so f***ing disappointed!
Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007

James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016
It was a tough day – really disappointing... I guess it was a good day in reality.

Who is the buff guy in blue with the big #Schnozolla?

This is and always will be the greatest spectacle in racing. This is the Indianapolis 500.
