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.

Not bad for a part timer ;o)

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.

Gentlemen... restart your engines!
Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004
Second place is nothing.
Marco Andretti, Indy 2006
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.

Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009
With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.

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

Will Power on testing the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019
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
For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.
Adam Alexander, Indy 2005
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.

He's grounded.
Bryan Herta to Marco Andretti on Colton Herta knocking Marco out of P1 in final practice, Long Beach, April 14th 2019
You don't get too many times like that at the Indy 500 where you're out there and you have a chance to win the race right in front of everybody on the last lap.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
The wall came too close and too quickly.

I need a nap now.
