    Paul Tracy on AJ Foyt, May 2009

  • I mean this guy can't even keep his lies straight. He's told so many in the last week, he's not sure what the truth is.

    Robin Miller on Kevin Kalkoven, February 2008

  • I still have the passion to drive the hell out of it!

    Juan Pablo Montoya on his motivation, NBCSports.com, July 12th 2016

  • It was so scary for me. I don't know what else to say. I don't know what happened but it felt like my front and rear wings were upside down.

    Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007

  • It's a new... track... record!

    Tom Carnegie

  • I am a connoisseur of information!

    Conor Daly on silly season rumours, Trackside, September 13th 2016

  • Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it

    Eric Bachelart, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

    Connor Daly, June 6th 2013, via Twitter

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

    Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010

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

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

  • For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.

    Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016

  • Speed on ovals is insane. Currently re-calibrating my eyes.

    Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009

  • Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug. And sometimes you have an air gun failure.

    Simon Pagenaud on equipment issues, St Petersburg, March 11th 2018

  • Let's wait and watch.

    Tom Carnegie

  • If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.

    Eddie Cheever Jr.

    Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

    Scott McLaughlan on qualifying at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 22nd 2023, via Speed Street
