They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.

James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016

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

Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97

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

Scott McLaughlin on adding power steering, via Twitter, April 26th 2021

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

It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

Sam Hornish Jr. on winning the 90th Indy 500

It's just crazy. If I never won another pole, I wouldn't care. Almost.

James Hinchcliffe on winning the pole for the 100th Indy 500, May 22nd 2016

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

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

Tom Carnegie

All up it was one of the toughest weekends of my career in ANY form of motorsport, and you can sometimes learn more from your roughest days out there.

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

That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!

Tom Sneva

To finish first you must first finish.

Rick Mears

I'm a little rough around the edges like him and I say what I feel, there's no B.S. and that's one of the things I've always admired about him.

Paul Tracy on AJ Foyt, 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

When you go home and you're slow, there's nothing you can do. But when you go home under these conditions it's kind of tough.

Alex Tagliani, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

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

Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007

It's a living, breathing, organism.

Eddie Cheever on Indianapolis Motor Speedway

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

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

Speed on ovals is insane. Currently re-calibrating my eyes.

Jimmie Johnson on his first oval test at Texas Motor Speedway, via Twitter, August 30th 2020

I'm just so f***ing disappointed!

Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007

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

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

Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, Milwaukee 2007

I'm throwing this one out to Dan. This is his hometown, this is his car.

James Hinchcliffe after his first career victory, St. Petersburg, March 24th 2013

I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.

Jean Alesi, Bump Day, Indy 2012

3-horse chase. Power, Dixie and GR

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

I love this championship and everything it represents. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to be here. I wouldn't want to have it any other way.

Alexander Rossi on IndyCar, The Indy Star, September 14th 2018

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

I didn't leave. I was terminated.

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

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

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

I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.

Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016

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

With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.

Helio Castroneves, June 2009

Downforce is the enemy of racing.

Rick Mears, Motorsport.com, September 15th 2016

...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

"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

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 promise you this: it isn't the last you've seen of me at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. My last time there will not be a day when I'm walking out with my tail between my legs.

Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010

You've only seen me smile here.

Romain Grosjean on being in IndyCar, after the GMR Grand Prix, IMS, May 15th 2021

The walls are white, the track is grey, the grass is green, and the sky is blue... your job is to keep them all where they belong.

Johnny Rutherford's advice to Indy 500 rookies

What a day. This place is magical. It is still the 'beginning of the season' for me but everything is starting to fall into place. This is the best month of May, ever.

Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009

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

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

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

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.

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

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

Alexander Rossi on another wild race at Portland, via Twitter, September 13th 2021

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