At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.

Dan Wheldon

I WILL win at Kentucky.

Will Power, Chicago 2010

I mean this guy can't even keep his lies straight. He's told so many in the last week, he's not sure what the truth is.

It's a living, breathing, organism.

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

Do you still remember how to celebrate these things?!

James Hinchcliffe on what should make you want to attend the 500, via Twitter, April 2012

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 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

Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.

Mario Andretti on Andy Granatelli after the 1969 Indianapolis 500

This is and always will be the greatest spectacle in racing. This is the Indianapolis 500.

Leigh Diffey, as the green flag waved at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 29th 2022

Not bad for a part timer ;o)

I am a connoisseur of information!

Conor Daly on silly season rumours, Trackside, September 13th 2016

What a day. This place is magical. It is still the 'beginning of the season' for me but everything is starting to fall into place. This is the best month of May, ever.

Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009

Essentially; the same lap time for the top ten!

Townsend Bell on the tight field after P2 at the GP of Portland, August 24th 2024

Everyone thinks that running in dirty air causes the front end to wash out, but actually it affects the whole car and you just can't follow someone close in fast or medium-speed corners since the aerokits came in.

Will Power on aerokits, Motorsport.com, May 4th 2016

You won't believe it!

Tom Carnegie

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

Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?

Dan Wheldon

I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.

Marco Andretti, July 2006

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

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

Chip Ganassi, Daytona 2008

This is a huge day for the IndyCar Series and for our sport as a whole, for sure.

Michael Andretti, February 22nd 2008

Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.

Tomas Scheckter on Helio Castroneves, Detroit 2007

Downforce is the enemy of racing.

Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

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

I didn't leave. I was terminated.

Sebastien Bourdais on the flip side of the Coyne, NBCSports.com, November 22nd 2019

No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.

Scott McLaughlin on adding power steering, via Twitter, April 26th 2021

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.

Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.

Sebastian Saavedra, Indy Bump Day 2010, via Twitter

I came in not knowing what to expect. I basically fell in love with IndyCar.

Romain Grosjean on his rookie season, Laguna Seca, September 19th 2021

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

He said its the best team out there. If its the best team, he shouldn't have a problem.
