I came in not knowing what to expect. I basically fell in love with IndyCar.

Romain Grosjean on his rookie season, Laguna Seca, September 19th 2021

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.

I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.

If he thinks I'm not going to remember that, HE'S CRAZY!

It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.

The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.

Buddy Lazier on the Indy 500

There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.

I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big

Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.

Dan Wheldon on the Indy 500

They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.
