I can't control what size I am and how I'm built. All I know is the NBA doesn't lower the hoop for short guys.
Danica Patrick, June 2005
My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.

I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.
Chip Ganassi
I promise you this: it isn't the last you've seen of me at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. My last time there will not be a day when I'm walking out with my tail between my legs.
Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010
Antony! Yer losin' 3 seconds a lap! Now get yer foot into it, I'm not gonna tell ya again!!
AJ Foyt, Chicagoland 2004
Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.
Dan Wheldon on the Indy 500
I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!
Paul Tracy on lax penalties for avoidable contact, Long Beach 2014
We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!
Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016
I drove the best race of my whole career!

Time to go to the back row party!
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
All up it was one of the toughest weekends of my career in ANY form of motorsport, and you can sometimes learn more from your roughest days out there.
Scott McLaughlin on his Detroit weekend, June15th 2021, Speedcafe.com
I'd have finished my career very disappointed had I not won the Indy 500. It's an amazing feeling and an amazing event.
Will Power on winning the 102nd Indy 500, racer.com, August 7th 2018
I was a craft beer and a wallet chain away from being a hipster!
James Hinchcliffe on beard growth, Tim and Sid's Plays of the Week, September 14th 2015
At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.

That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!

Having a pulse should make you want to attend the 500.

You know, if you're going to have an example of how not to go about things, this is 100 percent how you would do it.
Scott Dixon on Alex Palou's contract dispute, Toronto, July 15th 2022

I've never been so happy to be in last place.
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.
John Andretti, Indy 2010
I can tell you one thing, with 50 to go, I thought we were going to go home and close our tent.
Roger Penske, Indy 2006
That's a good way to lose a championship.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
If he thinks I'm not going to remember that, HE'S CRAZY!
Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, Milwaukee 2007
I lifted a little, but I didn't touch the brake.
Will Power on the art of restarting, St Pete's, March 30th 2014
It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.
Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010
I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.
Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007
We're all back to square zero!
James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014
That was the hairiest day I've ever had.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
Winning is always a great feeling, but winning at your home track, a place that you grew up at and a place that helped you fall in love with the sport of IndyCar racing... this is priceless.
Graham Rahal on winning at Mid-Ohio, Instagram, August 3rd 2015

I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.

It's a living, breathing, organism.
Eddie Cheever on Indianapolis Motor Speedway
I love this championship and everything it represents. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to be here. I wouldn't want to have it any other way.
Alexander Rossi on IndyCar, The Indy Star, September 14th 2018
Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.
A Sarah Fisher malapropism, Texas 2007

Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015
The toughest people out there passing me are my teammates, and I don't get that. I think three of the four of us get what the camaraderie of Andretti Green Racing is.
Marco Andretti on an unidentified teammate after Milwaukee 2009
Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!
Tom Carnegie on A.J. Foyt, 1967
You don't get too many times like that at the Indy 500 where you're out there and you have a chance to win the race right in front of everybody on the last lap.

You know, bison do seem like some very American animals.

Wild thought. This 18th Indy 500 means I've been in IndyCar for exactly half of my life. 👀😅
Marco Andretti on getting older, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 18th 2023, via Twitter
I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.
Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016
The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.
Buddy Lazier on the Indy 500
I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big
Jay Frye on the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019
I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!
Ed Carpenter, July 2006
