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

We are unified.

Terry Angstadt, February 22nd 2008

Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.

Tony Kanaan, Detroit 2007

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

Sam Hornish Jr on Tomas Scheckter, Texas 2005

Milka, if you're gonna go that slow you gotta drive your mirrors, hon'!

Ryan Hunter-Reay to Milka Duno after Watkins Glen qualifying, July 2010

If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.

Ryan Hunter-Reay on canopies, Racer Magazine, 15 September 2014

Antony! Yer losin' 3 seconds a lap! Now get yer foot into it, I'm not gonna tell ya again!!

AJ Foyt, Chicagoland 2004

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

The race that made the IRL famous!

Eddie Gossage on the Bombardier Lear Jet 500, May 2009

Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.

Tony Stewart, May 2007

Downforce is the enemy of racing.

Rick Mears, Motorsport.com, September 15th 2016

That was the hairiest day I've ever had.

Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

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

I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.

Kurt St. Angelo on the IndyCarFanZone fantasy league, Twitter, September 14th 2022

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

Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.

A Sarah Fisher malapropism, Texas 2007

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.

Al Unser Jr.

It's a new... track... record!

Tom Carnegie

We're all back to square zero!

James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014

Any time I get to come to Indianapolis, any time I get to participate in the greatest spectacle in motor racing, it's a great day.

Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007

Then again my favorite films of all time are Fast and the Furious 1 through 8 or however many of them there are.

Conor Daly on underglow. Via Twitter, July 16th 2020

If they want to be on the front page of USA Today, they can be my guest. If I ever want attention, I'm just going to get out of the car and beat the hell out of somebody.

Tony Kanaan on Dan and Danica, Milwaukee 2007

F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!

Dan Wheldon

To finish first you must first finish.

Rick Mears

I can't believe I'm here. It's so cool!

Mike Conway in victory lane, Long Beach 2014

I need a nap now.

Colton Herta on winning his first IndyCar race, COTA, 24th March 2019

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

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

At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.

Dan Wheldon

Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?

Danica Patrick on her final race, racing.ap.org, March 7th 2018

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

Will Power on the art of restarting, St Pete's, March 30th 2014

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've never been so happy to be in last place.

Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.

Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500

Not bad for a part timer ;o)

Graham Rahal on finishing 5th at Toronto, via Twitter, July 2010

It's like a reunion to come back here every May. I've never retired. I always say, "I'm not done yet."

Parnelli Jones, Indy 2007

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

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 am stupid.

Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020

This track, believe it or not, has done worse to me in the past, and we came back swinging.

James Hinchcliffe on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Bump Day, May 19th 2018

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

Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.

Mikhail Aleshin on drivers who are too scared to run the Indy 500, May 16th 2017

Let's wait and watch.

Tom Carnegie

I am a connoisseur of information!

Conor Daly on silly season rumours, Trackside, September 13th 2016

From now on, Scheckter, when used as a verb, means, "To steal one's wireless internet access."

Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007

The wall came too close and too quickly.

Fernando Alonso after crashing in practice, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 15th 2019

This has been the best season of my career in motorsport and I've learned so much. We'll be coming back to win this thing next year.

Will Power on losing to Dario Franchitti, Homestead, 2010

Eyes on the starter...

Tom Carnegie

I was going through there as hard as I could. It was for everything. It was for all the marbles.

Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
