The race that made the IRL famous!

Eddie Gossage on the Bombardier Lear Jet 500, May 2009

If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.

Ryan Hunter-Reay on canopies, Racer Magazine, 15 September 2014

I'm just so f***ing disappointed!

Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007

If you're an open-wheel racer and not at Indy in May, you're not really a race car driver. You just think you are.

Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007

...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.

Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.

James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015

If they want to be on the front page of USA Today, they can be my guest. If I ever want attention, I'm just going to get out of the car and beat the hell out of somebody.

Not bad for a part timer ;o)

Jack Harvey on the Indianapolis 500, indianapolismotorspeedway.com, February 21st 2019

That's a good way to lose a championship.

Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007

It was a tough day – really disappointing... I guess it was a good day in reality.

Marco Andretti on an unidentified teammate after Milwaukee 2009

I keep getting asked by Europeans, drivers also, if racing around IMS was boring an' easy. I just want to shake my head and walk away.
