"I drive pretty fast even on the highway in my Lamborghini. I don't like to drive at enormous top speed, but I do like to drive a little bit faster than everyone else. So if everybody on the highway is doing 80, I'll do 82 or something, and if people are driving 60, I'll want to do 62. I think there's something in my blood, in my instincts, that makes me want to overtake." (Newsweek, Sept. 25, 2006) Show less «

It's difficult to lose a guy like Dario, not only because he's a great driver but because he's a good friend, too. We're going to miss him. But the series made great strides over the past couple of years and this year in particular. I was asked in Detroit why I wasn't the big story after my best finish, and that's awesome. It's about having many story lines, and I think the league is developing that. Show less «

I will say that it started, that whole being angry thing, because I wanted people to know that I wasn't OK with finishing sixth, I wasn't OK with driving my butt off and finishing eighth. I wasn't OK with those results. I'm not OK with finishing third. Show less «

Winning was always the goal; it was really one of the only times I put 'girl' into my vocabulary - like it would be nice to be the first woman to do that. What it changes is things on the outside like the media, the endorsements and the fan attention. It doesn't change me as a driver. Show less «

What stands out about racing in Canada is how educated and how excited all the fans are.

One of the things that happens after I won, is that you want to win again so quickly. You get a little taste and you want it back.

He's a really fantastic driver and I'm actually excited and honored to be out there with him this weekend. I remember when I first came back to the United States, Paul was in Champ Car then. He's so good and he's just always so fast in qualifying and he's tough out there ... I remember that from when I was a kid, too. I've always been a Paul Tracy fan. Show less «
