If you're an open-wheel racer and not at Indy in May, you're not really a race car driver. You just think you are.

Alexander Rossi on IndyCar, The Indy Star, September 14th 2018
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?

Will Power on testing the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019
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.

Who is the buff guy in blue with the big #Schnozolla?
Chip Ganassi on Tony Kanaan's Family Feud appearance, via Twitter, July 26th 2016
This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.
Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.
