This is a huge day for the IndyCar Series and for our sport as a whole, for sure.

Michael Andretti, February 22nd 2008

It's just great, pure racing.

Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015

She was acting like a spoiled brat. I don't respect that. I tried to step away. She kept grabbing on me like a dog that wanted to bite my ankles.

Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007

I still have the passion to drive the hell out of it!

Juan Pablo Montoya on his motivation, NBCSports.com, July 12th 2016

Downforce is the enemy of racing.

Rick Mears, Motorsport.com, September 15th 2016

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

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

As a past driver, I'd answer the phone if Roger or Chip called...

Since last fall I've been wondering what in the hell it's going to feel like, and now I know.

Danica Patrick on driving an IndyCar after 7 years away, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 1st 2018

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

I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!

I came in not knowing what to expect. I basically fell in love with IndyCar.

That's a good way to lose a championship.

It's a living, breathing, organism.

If he thinks I'm not going to remember that, HE'S CRAZY!

Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, Milwaukee 2007

There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.

Eddie Cheever Jr.

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

Mike Conway in victory lane, Long Beach 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

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

Roger Yasukawa, Indy 2007

The Indy 500 is one of the greatest events in the sport. Drivers all over the world know this. I belong there. Because I'm a racer.

Fernando Alonso on The Indy 500, The Players Tribune, May 18th 2017

...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.

Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016

I didn't leave. I was terminated.

No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.

I'm the happiest guy on earth right now!

Who is the buff guy in blue with the big #Schnozolla?

I was just hanging back there waiting for someone to make a mistake and it turned out to be me!

Colton Herta on the final restart, Road America, June 12th 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

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

Helio lives for this. This is his passion. He loves Indy.

Simon Pagenaud, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 15th 2018

Beautiful chaos!

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

Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.

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.

Cheever had a problem with my dad, he had a problem with me, and now he's taking it out on Marco.

Michael Andretti, Watkins Glen 2006

Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.

A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race

The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.

Mario Andretti

When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.

You've only seen me smile here.

"Many people always ask me why I sign off 'Until we meet again.' Because goodbye is so final. Goodbye, Dan Wheldon."

Marty Reid, Las Vegas, October 16th 2011

Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?

Dan Wheldon

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

...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.

If I have to race until I am 86 years old, I am going to race until I win another Indianapolis 500.
