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

I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.
Sam Hornish Jr on Tomas Scheckter, Texas 2005
Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety
Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
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.

This track, believe it or not, has done worse to me in the past, and we came back swinging.

I can't believe it. I cannot believe it. What a year for this Target team. It was so much fun to be a part of.
Dario Franchitti, Homestead 2009
...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.
Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.

Leigh Diffey, as the green flag waved at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 29th 2022

I'm 38. I'm a legit 38. I don't know how old you are, but I'm legit 38. March 3 1981.

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.

Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.

Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.

I think it's is a long putt, so I think we're safe for a while.

Do you still remember how to celebrate these things?!
