"Today I lost one of the best friends I ever had in Greg Moore. In the last couple of years, ever since I've known him, we shared a lot of good times together. He was the guy I competed the hardest with on the track, and he was the guy that I had the most fun with away from the track. The guy was going to be a champion, many, many times over. He was my friend. With what 's happened, nothing else matters."
-Dario Franchitti
"Today was a disappointing day for everybody. The loss of Greg is a hard thing to try and stomach. But I've talked to a lot of drivers now and we all just remember Greg on the grid today. He was sitting there in his car with a gimp hand, smiling and ready for the race; ready to go out there and try to win it. His spirit was that way. He wouldn't give up a chance to get in the car, even if his leg was hanging off. That's how I want to remember him. Not seeing the accident. But remembering all of the good times that we had. He was a guy who always had a smile on his face. He was always upbeat and always in a good mood. He had a great spirit and I hope that continues on in this sport."
-Paul Tracy
"I will remember Greg as a great gentleman, great friend and a fantastic racecar driver." "It's so hard. Greg was such a good friend of ours. We've been racing for a while and shared so many good moments on and off the track."
-Adrian Fernandez
"He's out there in the sky. These are messages that God sent to us. I'm so sad. There's no words, there is nothing. There is nothing...no satisfaction would pay this back. We need to understand why things happen. Now my prayers are with Ric and all of Greg's family. There is no word. You just have to understand why things happen. And don't accept them."
-Max Papis
"Definitley Greg will be missed a lot everywhere. Not only inside the track but outside the track and hanging out with us."
-Christian Fittipaldi
"I'm really sad about what happened to Greg. I think he was a great guy. I'm really sorry for his family and friends. I could say he was one of the nicer guys around here. It's a really big shame. It's a big loss for CART and for everyone."
-Juan Montoya
"This one hits home. Greg Moore was a good friend of mine. This accident is really going to make me think about what I'm doing with my career. We've lost two great guys in the last couple of months, and that's not good. I feel so sad for Greg's dad. Greg was a good kid from a really good family. This is such a tragedy."
-Robby Gordon
"Gosh ... Robby and I just had the time of our lives with Greg down in Australia. We played cards. We went to the beach. We had dinner. That's the loss of a family member, and that hurts." -
Mike Held , co-owner of Team Gordon
"I feel privileged that I had the opportunity to be Greg's teammate the last two seasons. I had a great deal of respect and admiration for him, both as a professional and as a person, and I think every driver in the CART series felt the same way. It is a devastating loss and my heart goes out to Greg's family and the many people who were close to him."
