Kurt St. Angelo on the IndyCarFanZone fantasy league, Twitter, September 14th 2022
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
When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!
Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011
Every podium tastes like glory and every victory more so.

Ed Carpenter to Tony Kanaan on the suggestion that he was over 40, Gateway, August 24th 2019
If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.

Downforce is the enemy of racing.

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

I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.
Chip Ganassi
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
That's a good way to lose a championship.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.
Chip Ganassi on Honda, St Petersberg, March 23rd 2013
I'm just so f***ing disappointed!
Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007

Alexander Rossi on IndyCar, The Indy Star, September 14th 2018
I've seen this place be absolutely great to me, and I've seen it wrench my heart from my body.
Dan Wheldon on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
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
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?
Dan Wheldon
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
Last season, we lost the championship in the last corner of the last lap of the last race to some other guy.
Chip Ganassi, Daytona 2008
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
This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.
Roger Yasukawa, Indy 2007
I keep getting asked by Europeans, drivers also, if racing around IMS was boring an' easy. I just want to shake my head and walk away.
Connor Daly, June 6th 2013, via Twitter
I'm throwing this one out to Dan. This is his hometown, this is his car.

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
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
Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.
Mario Andretti on Andy Granatelli after the 1969 Indianapolis 500
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

Ed Carpenter on finally winning his first race, Kansas, October 2011
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.
Jack Harvey on the Indianapolis 500, indianapolismotorspeedway.com, February 21st 2019
...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
It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
Sam Hornish Jr. on winning the 90th Indy 500
