Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!

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 think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.
Scott Dixon on losing the race and the championship, Homestead 2009
You don't pay me to run second.

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

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

Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug. And sometimes you have an air gun failure.

Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.

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

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
Most importantly, for the Indy 500 we'll probably be all okay, and that's cause to be happy.

Alex Tagliani, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
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
The Indianapolis 500 is about the fastest 33 Indy car drivers going for one prize. If they happen to come from America, that's great.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
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.

Last season, we lost the championship in the last corner of the last lap of the last race to some other guy.

Will Power on losing to Dario Franchitti, Homestead, 2010
The toughest people out there passing me are my teammates, and I don't get that. I think three of the four of us get what the camaraderie of Andretti Green Racing is.

It's a living, breathing, organism.

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

The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

Everyone thinks that running in dirty air causes the front end to wash out, but actually it affects the whole car and you just can't follow someone close in fast or medium-speed corners since the aerokits came in.

Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.

I am stupid.
Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020
I remember the first year I raced here, I took pictures of the entrance. I was taking pictures. I hoped one day to race here in May.
Fernando Alonso on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
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
I never would've had my opportunity to race at Indy if it weren't for Tony George and the IRL.

If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.
