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.

This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.

That's a good way to lose a championship.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 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
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
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
I am stupid.
Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020
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.

My mom hasn't played much of a role in my racing career. In fact, I think she still wants me to join the Coast Guard. But I still love her.
PJ Chesson on Mothers Day
I WILL win at Kentucky.
Will Power, Chicago 2010
I'd have finished my career very disappointed had I not won the Indy 500. It's an amazing feeling and an amazing event.

Eyes on the starter...
Tom Carnegie
I'm tired of being nice about it. The fact is, grip created by aerodynamic downforce is our enemy... At the moment, the downforce is so great that it masks the handling and hurts the racing
Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
You need to learn how to f***ing count.
Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97

I'm just so f***ing disappointed!
Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007
