Tony Kanaan, St Pete's 2007
Second place is nothing.
Marco Andretti, Indy 2006
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.

The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.
Mario Andretti
And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!

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

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

Paul Tracy on AJ Foyt, May 2009
The Indianapolis 500 is about the fastest 33 Indy car drivers going for one prize. If they happen to come from America, that's great.

I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.
Jean Alesi, Bump Day, Indy 2012
