Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
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
It's just great, pure racing.

I am stupid.
Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020
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
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
Speed on ovals is insane. Currently re-calibrating my eyes.

Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!
Tom Carnegie on A.J. Foyt, 1967

Eyes on the starter...

There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.
Eddie Cheever Jr.
You need to learn how to f***ing count.
Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97
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 got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!
Roger Penske on his older two drivers, motorsport.com, March 22nd 2016

Gentlemen, start your engines.

James Hinchcliffe on bumping at Indy, May 19th 2018
I wasn't thinking, 'That's Eddie [Cheever] and he's in an Infiniti and so I need to beat him.' I was thinking, 'That's Eddie, and I want to kick his ass!'
Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Tom Carnegie
Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety

I don't know him at all. Is he in his own little world?
Kevin Lee on Jacques Villeneuve, Trackside, August 2012
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
I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.
Chip Ganassi
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
I can tell you one thing, with 50 to go, I thought we were going to go home and close our tent.

For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.

You're not going to out-Dixon Dixon!
James Hinchcliffe on trying to beat Scott Dixon on fuel mileage, during the Bommarito Automative 500, August 27th 2023
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
It's made me hungry for IndyCar, for sure. You get in a car like that, you don't want to get out of it.
Jamie Chadwick on her first IndyCar test, Barber, October 1st 2024
She was acting like a spoiled brat. I don't respect that. I tried to step away. She kept grabbing on me like a dog that wanted to bite my ankles.

It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.
