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
I plan to be here hopefully until I'm into my 40s, and to accomplish something like Scott has done.

NASCAR has nothing on us. Look at the crowd at Indy – that's three Daytona 500s all in one place.

We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!
Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016
The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!
A.J. Foyt on his Indy 500 winner's ring, Detroit, June 3rd 2016
Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.

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

I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!

Not bad for a part timer ;o)

Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.

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
I've seen this place be absolutely great to me, and I've seen it wrench my heart from my body.

If I have to race until I am 86 years old, I am going to race until I win another Indianapolis 500.

Marty Reid, Las Vegas, October 16th 2011
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.
Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010
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.

It was talent and skill, that's how I did it. A masterful display of driving ability!

Back at the big house next weekend, kids.

I'm just so f***ing disappointed!

I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.

I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.

I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.

Wild thought. This 18th Indy 500 means I've been in IndyCar for exactly half of my life. 👀😅
