You need to learn how to f***ing count.

Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97

Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!

Helio Castroneves

Let's wait and watch.

Tom Carnegie

Heeeeeee's on it!

Tom Carnegie

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

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

I can hardly believe it. Who would have thought it?!

Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500

Milka, if you're gonna go that slow you gotta drive your mirrors, hon'!

Ryan Hunter-Reay to Milka Duno after Watkins Glen qualifying, July 2010

Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.

James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014

NASCAR has nothing on us. Look at the crowd at Indy – that's three Daytona 500s all in one place.

Graham Rahal on the Indianapolis 500, Racer.com, June 4th 2016

It was a tough day – really disappointing... I guess it was a good day in reality.

Josef Newgarden on finishing 7th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020

Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.

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

Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.

Eddie Cheever Jr.

I'm a moving chicane out here!

Juan Pablo Montoya, lap 42 at St Pete's, March 30th 2014

I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!

Paul Tracy on lax penalties for avoidable contact, Long Beach 2014

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

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

I bet you'd love to drive one, you just wouldn't want to crash one!

Charlie Kimball to Dale Jr. via Twitter, Pocono, August 23rd 2015

...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.

Curt Cavin on Trackside, May 13th 2010

That was the hairiest day I've ever had.

Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?

Danica Patrick on her final race, racing.ap.org, March 7th 2018

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

Roger Penske on the possibility of F1 returning to Long Beach, April 2014

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 worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.

Billy Boat

If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!

Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007

You don't pay me to run second.

Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006

3-horse chase. Power, Dixie and GR

Curt Cavin with a new twist on an old saying, GP of Baltimore 2013

What a day. This place is magical. It is still the 'beginning of the season' for me but everything is starting to fall into place. This is the best month of May, ever.

Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009

The walls are white, the track is grey, the grass is green, and the sky is blue... your job is to keep them all where they belong.

Johnny Rutherford's advice to Indy 500 rookies

I know a lot of people say that Iowa is in the middle of nowhere, but you know what, we get such a great crowd and they're so enthusiastic. As a driver you could put me in paradise, but if there's nobody in the grandstands then it's not good racing.

Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009

It's a Top-10 but after finishing here fifth last year nothing less than that would really be satisfying because you always want more.

Ed Carpenter after the 2009 Indianapolis 500

The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.

Mario Andretti

There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.

Eddie Cheever Jr.

Eyes on the starter...

Tom Carnegie

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

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

When you've driven it for a day, you're going to feel naked without it.

Will Power on testing the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019

When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!

Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011

The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.

Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

We are unified.

Terry Angstadt, February 22nd 2008

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

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

We'll be fine. I'll take them to Six Flags tomorrow and we'll all be fine.

Tony Kanaan on Marco & Danica, June 2009 at Texas Motor Speedway

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

Jimmie Johnson on his first oval test at Texas Motor Speedway, via Twitter, August 30th 2020

The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!

A.J. Foyt on his Indy 500 winner's ring, Detroit, June 3rd 2016

I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.

Scott Dixon on losing the race and the championship, Homestead 2009

Who is the buff guy in blue with the big #Schnozolla?

Chip Ganassi on Tony Kanaan's Family Feud appearance, via Twitter, July 26th 2016

Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.

Marco Andretti on why the Honda teams were struggling, Barber, April 27th 2015

We'll see how it unfolds, and we're going to have to give each other respect and the space on the track.

Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, June 2007

You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.

Tony Kanaan, Motegi 2007
