Not bad for a part timer ;o)

I get one more opportunity to head into the defining racing venue of my career with a single, achievable goal: Win.
Danica Patrick on her final Indy 500, The Players' Tribune, May 15th 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.
Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016
Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.

Romain Grosjean on being in IndyCar, after the GMR Grand Prix, IMS, May 15th 2021
There's fathers out there. There's husbands. There's brothers, sisters. It's something that absolutely we think about. We hope for the best with it.
Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015
It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.

Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

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

If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.
PJ Chesson
I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big

As a past driver, I'd answer the phone if Roger or Chip called...
Sarah Fisher on keeping Josef Newgarden in her team, Racer.com, August 3rd 2015
The toughest people out there passing me are my teammates, and I don't get that. I think three of the four of us get what the camaraderie of Andretti Green Racing is.
Marco Andretti on an unidentified teammate after Milwaukee 2009
I still have the passion to drive the hell out of it!
Juan Pablo Montoya on his motivation, NBCSports.com, July 12th 2016

Chip Ganassi on whether he'd allow Jaun Pablo Montoya to test for Penske, Houston, October 2013
It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
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
The day started when I walked into Gasoline Alley and saw the grandstands. It was my first time here on race day and it was quite unbelievable.
Alex Tagliani on the 2009 Indianapolis 500
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.
Scott Dixon on Alex Palou's contract dispute, Toronto, July 15th 2022
Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.

Everyone wants to pick a fight with me. Whatever.

It's just great, pure racing.
Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015
Obviously we always see the good days, but Gil de Ferran told me if you can have a bad day and nobody notices, that's how you do a really good job - and that's how you win a championship.
Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

It's great that it's one minute after six!
Marty Roth, Indy Bump Day 2007
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?
Dan Wheldon
A happy wife is a happy life!
Scott Dixon on marriage at the Carb Night Burger Bash, 2015
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
Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.

Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007
Gentlemen... restart your engines!
Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004
It's like a reunion to come back here every May. I've never retired. I always say, "I'm not done yet."
Parnelli Jones, Indy 2007
Brad Pitt got a super license before me. Tough.
Colton Herta on Brad Pitt joining the F1 grid to film a movie, Twitter, May 4th 2023
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
James Hinchcliffe on bumping at Indy, May 19th 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?

I just can't wait to get back in the car. I wonder if I'm still any good.

Alexander Rossi on building an IndyCar legacy, Mobil1TheGrid.com, December 10th 2018
There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.
Al Unser Jr.
If I have to race until I am 86 years old, I am going to race until I win another Indianapolis 500.
Dan Wheldon after finishing 2nd in the 2010 Indianapolis 500
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
