It's just crazy. If I never won another pole, I wouldn't care. Almost.

Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
Eyes on the starter...

Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.

Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.
Marco Andretti on why the Honda teams were struggling, Barber, April 27th 2015
...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.
Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
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.
Marco Andretti on an unidentified teammate after Milwaukee 2009
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!'

Fernando Alonso on the difference between an IndyCar and an F1 car, May 3rd 2017
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
It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.

Tomas Scheckter on Helio Castroneves, Detroit 2007
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
The race that made the IRL famous!

I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!
Paul Tracy on lax penalties for avoidable contact, Long Beach 2014
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.

I get one more opportunity to head into the defining racing venue of my career with a single, achievable goal: Win.

3-horse chase. Power, Dixie and GR
Curt Cavin with a new twist on an old saying, GP of Baltimore 2013
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
It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.

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

It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.

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