Broke a glass at a restaurant. Apologize to the waiter, he looks at me, says "Accidents happen. YOU know what I mean!"

James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015

...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.

It's great that it's one minute after six!

I am a connoisseur of information!

It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.

A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race

The Indy 500 is one of the greatest events in the sport. Drivers all over the world know this. I belong there. Because I'm a racer.

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.

Tony Kanaan on Dan and Danica, Milwaukee 2007

The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.

If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.

The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.

That was the hairiest day I've ever had.

Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.
