I mean this guy can't even keep his lies straight. He's told so many in the last week, he's not sure what the truth is.
Robin Miller on Kevin Kalkoven, February 2008
The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.
Mario Andretti
Antony! Yer losin' 3 seconds a lap! Now get yer foot into it, I'm not gonna tell ya again!!
AJ Foyt, Chicagoland 2004
The wall came too close and too quickly.
Fernando Alonso after crashing in practice, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 15th 2019
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.
Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
I bet you'd love to drive one, you just wouldn't want to crash one!
Charlie Kimball to Dale Jr. via Twitter, Pocono, August 23rd 2015
Whatever you heard, somebody made it up. For the first two days, he talked nonsense because he had a concussion. It doesn't matter what he was saying. He doesn't even remember it.
Tony Kanaan on the rumours of Dario Franchitti's retirement after Houston, 2013
I can't believe it. I cannot believe it. What a year for this Target team. It was so much fun to be a part of.
Dario Franchitti, Homestead 2009
I can't believe I'm here. It's so cool!
Mike Conway in victory lane, Long Beach 2014
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?
Dan Wheldon
I know a lot of people say that Iowa is in the middle of nowhere, but you know what, we get such a great crowd and they're so enthusiastic. As a driver you could put me in paradise, but if there's nobody in the grandstands then it's not good racing.
Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009
She probably does not know what that is, so I can say I'm going to Las Vegas to play poker and she'll think it's something like that!
Fernando Alonso on what his mother would think about the Indy 500, motor.as.com, April 20th 2016
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
I remember the first year I raced here, I took pictures of the entrance. I was taking pictures. I hoped one day to race here in May.
Fernando Alonso on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.
Dan Wheldon
Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
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
F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!
Dan Wheldon
The minute he got in front of me, he slowed down half-a-second a lap because he knows I'm fighting him for the championship and he was out of the race. It's probably the most unsportsmanlike thing I've ever seen on the racetrack, apart from shunting someone into a wall.
Wade Cunningham on Sebastien Saavedra, Iowa 2009
When you've driven it for a day, you're going to feel naked without it.
Will Power on testing the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019
It was talent and skill, that's how I did it. A masterful display of driving ability!
James Hinchcliffe on getting through the gap that took him from 17th to 6th at Mid Ohio, August 2014
That's a good way to lose a championship.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
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
Gentlemen... restart your engines!
Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004
Time to go to the back row party!
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
And in 7 hours off to NYC!! Can't believe. Don't want to sleep thinking I'm gonna wake up from a dream.
Sebastian Saavedra, Indy Bump Day 2010, via Twitter
Eyes on the starter...
Tom Carnegie
You know, bison do seem like some very American animals.
Conor Daly on Bison, IndyCar.com March 23rd 2021
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
We'll see how it unfolds, and we're going to have to give each other respect and the space on the track.
Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, June 2007
The Indianapolis 500 is about the fastest 33 Indy car drivers going for one prize. If they happen to come from America, that's great.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!
Tom Sneva
There's fathers out there. There's husbands. There's brothers, sisters. It's something that absolutely we think about. We hope for the best with it.
Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015
No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.
Scott McLaughlin on adding power steering, via Twitter, April 26th 2021
A happy wife is a happy life!
Scott Dixon on marriage at the Carb Night Burger Bash, 2015
It's just great, pure racing.
Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015
Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!
Helio Castroneves
Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...
Tom Carnegie
If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.
John Barnes on Sam Hornish Jr, indy 2003
Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.
Graham Rahal on the carnage at Toronto, July 2011
I never would've had my opportunity to race at Indy if it weren't for Tony George and the IRL.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Tom Carnegie
With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.
Helio Castroneves, June 2009
It's great that it's one minute after six!
Marty Roth, Indy Bump Day 2007
The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!
A.J. Foyt on his Indy 500 winner's ring, Detroit, June 3rd 2016
We'd love to see Buddy Rice in a car and in the Indy 500, but as best we can tell, no driver has ever qualified for the Indy 500 from their couch.
TrackSideOnline, May 2009
P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.
Alexander Rossi on another wild race at Portland, via Twitter, September 13th 2021
I'm a little rough around the edges like him and I say what I feel, there's no B.S. and that's one of the things I've always admired about him.
Paul Tracy on AJ Foyt, May 2009
Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.
Marco Andretti on why the Honda teams were struggling, Barber, April 27th 2015
