    Dan Wheldon, Homestead test 2007

  • Then again my favorite films of all time are Fast and the Furious 1 through 8 or however many of them there are.

    Chip Ganassi

  • It's a Top-10 but after finishing here fifth last year nothing less than that would really be satisfying because you always want more.

    Ed Carpenter after the 2009 Indianapolis 500

    Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016

  • If someone said choose one race to win, just one, and that was the only race you ever got to win, it would be the Indy 500.

  • It was a tough day – really disappointing... I guess it was a good day in reality.

    Josef Newgarden on finishing 7th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020

  • That's a good way to lose a championship.

    Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
