It felt way better than I ever thought it was going to feel!
Ed Carpenter on finally winning his first race, Kansas, October 2011
Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.

I need a nap now.

When you go home and you're slow, there's nothing you can do. But when you go home under these conditions it's kind of tough.
Alex Tagliani, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
If they want to be on the front page of USA Today, they can be my guest. If I ever want attention, I'm just going to get out of the car and beat the hell out of somebody.

I prefer to be here, even 34th, then being at home like last year.

Tom Sneva
Milka, if you're gonna go that slow you gotta drive your mirrors, hon'!

There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.

I'd have finished my career very disappointed had I not won the Indy 500. It's an amazing feeling and an amazing event.
Will Power on winning the 102nd Indy 500, racer.com, August 7th 2018
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
If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.
Tony Kanaan, St Pete's 2007
Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.

I've never been so happy to be in last place.

It's just great, pure racing.
Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015
Whether you're a fan in turn 1 or turn 4, it doesn't matter what position you have. We all make the Indianapolis 500 what it is.
Josef Newgarden on The Indy 500, June 2023, via Twitter
Good news is we've won every race we've finished!
James Hinchcliffe on crashing out at Long Beach, April 22nd 2013
The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.

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.
Jack Harvey on the Indianapolis 500, indianapolismotorspeedway.com, February 21st 2019
Speed on ovals is insane. Currently re-calibrating my eyes.

F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!
Dan Wheldon
When you've driven it for a day, you're going to feel naked without it.

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

This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.
Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021
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
Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
We are unified.
Terry Angstadt, February 22nd 2008
Then again my favorite films of all time are Fast and the Furious 1 through 8 or however many of them there are.
Conor Daly on underglow. Via Twitter, July 16th 2020
I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.
Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007
You won't believe it!
Tom Carnegie
I arrived in Turn 1 and I was convinced that I was doing flat out, but the foot was not flat - it had its own life, it was not connected to my brain at that moment.

Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.
Tom Carnegie

You know, if you're going to have an example of how not to go about things, this is 100 percent how you would do it.
