I'm a moving chicane out here!

If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.

The race that made the IRL famous!

If someone said choose one race to win, just one, and that was the only race you ever got to win, it would be the Indy 500.

I lifted a little, but I didn't touch the brake.

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

Tony Kanaan at the 2009 Indianapolis 500

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.

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

This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.

What a day. This place is magical. It is still the 'beginning of the season' for me but everything is starting to fall into place. This is the best month of May, ever.

3-horse chase. Power, Dixie and GR

Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015

Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

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.

I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.

Time to go to the back row party!

Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

He said its the best team out there. If its the best team, he shouldn't have a problem.
