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

Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009
Gentlemen, start your engines.

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.
Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.

What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.
Bobby Rahal on the benefits of a spec series, Racer.com, May 18th 2016

Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 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.

Do you still remember how to celebrate these things?!
