Fernando Alonso on what his mother would think about the Indy 500, motor.as.com, April 20th 2016

It's just great, pure racing.

If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.

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

I'm throwing this one out to Dan. This is his hometown, this is his car.

I never would've had my opportunity to race at Indy if it weren't for Tony George and the IRL.
