Rick Mears
If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.
Mario Andretti
Helio lives for this. This is his passion. He loves Indy.
Simon Pagenaud, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 15th 2018
The minute he got in front of me, he slowed down half-a-second a lap because he knows I'm fighting him for the championship and he was out of the race. It's probably the most unsportsmanlike thing I've ever seen on the racetrack, apart from shunting someone into a wall.
Wade Cunningham on Sebastien Saavedra, Iowa 2009
Second place is nothing.
Marco Andretti, Indy 2006
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
This has been the best season of my career in motorsport and I've learned so much. We'll be coming back to win this thing next year.
Will Power on losing to Dario Franchitti, Homestead, 2010
Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it
Eric Bachelart, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
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'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
Gentlemen... restart your engines!
Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004
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
Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?
Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010
Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.
Graham Rahal on the carnage at Toronto, July 2011
I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.
Sam Hornish Jr on Tomas Scheckter, Texas 2005
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
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 know a lot of people say that Iowa is in the middle of nowhere, but you know what, we get such a great crowd and they're so enthusiastic. As a driver you could put me in paradise, but if there's nobody in the grandstands then it's not good racing.
Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009
Hope you're all snug in your beds, while Indycars dance in your head...
Simon Pagenaud on insomnia, Twitter, 4:31 AM, July 23rd 2019
Eyes on the starter...
Tom Carnegie
I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.
Chip Ganassi
Then again my favorite films of all time are Fast and the Furious 1 through 8 or however many of them there are.
Conor Daly on underglow. Via Twitter, July 16th 2020
It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
Sam Hornish Jr. on winning the 90th Indy 500
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.
Scott McLaughlin on his Detroit weekend, June15th 2021, Speedcafe.com
I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!
Ed Carpenter, July 2006
There's fathers out there. There's husbands. There's brothers, sisters. It's something that absolutely we think about. We hope for the best with it.
Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015
My Father said if you are going to win one race, make sure it is the Indianapolis 500
Eddie Cheever after winning the Indy 500
I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big
Jay Frye on the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019
Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.
Tony Kanaan, Detroit 2007
I drove it like I stole it!
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2006
That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!
Tom Sneva
Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...
Tom Carnegie
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
That was the hairiest day I've ever had.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
I've never been so happy to be in last place.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.
A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race
You don't pay me to run second.
Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006
...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.
Curt Cavin on Trackside, May 13th 2010
We are unified.
Terry Angstadt, February 22nd 2008
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
Dan Wheldon
It's a new... track... record!
Tom Carnegie
I don't know him at all. Is he in his own little world?
Kevin Lee on Jacques Villeneuve, Trackside, August 2012
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
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
Not bad for a part timer ;o)
Graham Rahal on finishing 5th at Toronto, via Twitter, July 2010
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
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
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
Essentially; the same lap time for the top ten!
