It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

James Hinchcliffe on what should make you want to attend the 500, via Twitter, April 2012
Obviously we always see the good days, but Gil de Ferran told me if you can have a bad day and nobody notices, that's how you do a really good job - and that's how you win a championship.

Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500

Graham Rahal on the Indianapolis 500, Racer.com, June 4th 2016
To finish first you must first finish.
Rick Mears
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.
