I need a nap now.

I came in not knowing what to expect. I basically fell in love with IndyCar.

Romain Grosjean on his rookie season, Laguna Seca, September 19th 2021

You don't get too many times like that at the Indy 500 where you're out there and you have a chance to win the race right in front of everybody on the last lap.

Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006

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 can't believe I'm here. It's so cool!

Mike Conway in victory lane, Long Beach 2014

Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.

John Andretti, Indy 2010

Cheever had a problem with my dad, he had a problem with me, and now he's taking it out on Marco.

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

You're not going to out-Dixon Dixon!

James Hinchcliffe on trying to beat Scott Dixon on fuel mileage, during the Bommarito Automative 500, August 27th 2023

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.

Eddie Cheever

You don't pay me to run second.

Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006

It's like a reunion to come back here every May. I've never retired. I always say, "I'm not done yet."

I am stupid.

I can tell you one thing, with 50 to go, I thought we were going to go home and close our tent.

Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.

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

Ed Carpenter to Tony Kanaan on the suggestion that he was over 40, Gateway, August 24th 2019

We'd love to see Buddy Rice in a car and in the Indy 500, but as best we can tell, no driver has ever qualified for the Indy 500 from their couch.

TrackSideOnline, May 2009

"Many people always ask me why I sign off 'Until we meet again.' Because goodbye is so final. Goodbye, Dan Wheldon."

Marty Reid, Las Vegas, October 16th 2011

I'm tired of being nice about it. The fact is, grip created by aerodynamic downforce is our enemy... At the moment, the downforce is so great that it masks the handling and hurts the racing

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