That's a cool shot of the glowing brake disc!

Colton Herta watching a replay of his pass on Rossi, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, 3rd October 2020

I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.

Chip Ganassi

The race that made the IRL famous!

Eddie Gossage on the Bombardier Lear Jet 500, May 2009

Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.

James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014

I'm the happiest guy on earth right now!

Rinus VeeKay on finishing 5th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020

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

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

That was the hairiest day I've ever had.

Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

I plan to be here hopefully until I'm into my 40s, and to accomplish something like Scott has done.

Alexander Rossi on building an IndyCar legacy, Mobil1TheGrid.com, December 10th 2018

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

He's grounded.

Bryan Herta to Marco Andretti on Colton Herta knocking Marco out of P1 in final practice, Long Beach, April 14th 2019

It was so scary for me. I don't know what else to say. I don't know what happened but it felt like my front and rear wings were upside down.

Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007

NASCAR has nothing on us. Look at the crowd at Indy – that's three Daytona 500s all in one place.

Graham Rahal on the Indianapolis 500, Racer.com, June 4th 2016

This is and always will be the greatest spectacle in racing. This is the Indianapolis 500.

Leigh Diffey, as the green flag waved at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 29th 2022

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'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.

Marco Andretti, July 2006

I hope all the fans out there were as excited about that race as I am. It was awesome doing so much passing. Racing can't get any better!

Graham Rahal on the Kentucky 300, August 2009

To finish first you must first finish.

Rick Mears

And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!

Paul Page, Michigan '99

We'll be fine. I'll take them to Six Flags tomorrow and we'll all be fine.

Tony Kanaan on Marco & Danica, June 2009 at Texas Motor Speedway

Do you still remember how to celebrate these things?!

Tim Cindric on the radio to Will Power, Detroit, 5th June 2016

I'm 38. I'm a legit 38. I don't know how old you are, but I'm legit 38. March 3 1981.

Ed Carpenter to Tony Kanaan on the suggestion that he was over 40, Gateway, August 24th 2019

You know, if you're going to have an example of how not to go about things, this is 100 percent how you would do it.

Scott Dixon on Alex Palou's contract dispute, Toronto, July 15th 2022

You need to learn how to f***ing count.

Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97

It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.

Tony Kanaan at the 2009 Indianapolis 500

This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.

Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021

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've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!

Roger Penske on his older two drivers, motorsport.com, March 22nd 2016

I didn't leave. I was terminated.

Sebastien Bourdais on the flip side of the Coyne, NBCSports.com, November 22nd 2019

The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.

Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

Brian Clauson's car got pretty beat up yesterday. It's black and blue all over

Justin Wilson on Brian Clauson's patchwork DW12, bump day, Indy 2012

Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!

Tom Carnegie on A.J. Foyt, 1967

Time to go to the back row party!

Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

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

The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.

Rinus Veekay on the Dutch flag, Twitter.com, May 25th 2021

It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.

Dan Wheldon, Homestead test 2007

3-horse chase. Power, Dixie and GR

Curt Cavin with a new twist on an old saying, GP of Baltimore 2013

You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.

Tony Kanaan, Motegi 2007

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

Dan Wheldon after finishing 2nd in the 2010 Indianapolis 500

It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.

Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010

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

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 wasn't thinking, 'That's Eddie [Cheever] and he's in an Infiniti and so I need to beat him.' I was thinking, 'That's Eddie, and I want to kick his ass!'

Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000

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

Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.

Marco Andretti on why the Honda teams were struggling, Barber, April 27th 2015

You won't believe it!

Tom Carnegie

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

It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.

Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005

Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety

Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015

If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.

Tony Kanaan, St Pete's 2007
