Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.

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

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

It's great that it's one minute after six!

Marty Roth, Indy Bump Day 2007

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

James Hinchcliffe on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Bump Day, May 19th 2018

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

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.

Chip Ganassi on Honda, St Petersberg, March 23rd 2013

I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!

Ed Carpenter, July 2006

Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...

Tom Carnegie

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

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

No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.

Scott McLaughlin on adding power steering, via Twitter, April 26th 2021

It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.

Tony Kanaan at the 2009 Indianapolis 500

Going into Texas with four wheels on the car is pretty exciting!

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

They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.

James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016

Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?

Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010

Not bad for a part timer ;o)

Graham Rahal on finishing 5th at Toronto, via Twitter, July 2010

Every podium tastes like glory and every victory more so.

Alex Palou on the calibre of competition in IndyCar, September 5th 2023, via Marca.com

There's fathers out there. There's husbands. There's brothers, sisters. It's something that absolutely we think about. We hope for the best with it.

Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015

I'd have finished my career very disappointed had I not won the Indy 500. It's an amazing feeling and an amazing event.

Will Power on winning the 102nd Indy 500, racer.com, August 7th 2018

Good news is we've won every race we've finished!

James Hinchcliffe on crashing out at Long Beach, April 22nd 2013

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

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

A Sarah Fisher malapropism, Texas 2007

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

Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015

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

Helio Castroneves

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

So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!

Danica Patrick after Iowa 2009, via Twitter

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.

Al Unser Jr.

She was acting like a spoiled brat. I don't respect that. I tried to step away. She kept grabbing on me like a dog that wanted to bite my ankles.

Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007

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

John Barnes on Sam Hornish Jr, indy 2003

To finish first you must first finish.

Rick Mears

Gentlemen, start your engines.

Eddie Cheever after winning the Indy 500

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

Will Power on the long off season, St Petersburg, March 21st 2013

It was talent and skill, that's how I did it. A masterful display of driving ability!

James Hinchcliffe on getting through the gap that took him from 17th to 6th at Mid Ohio, August 2014

I remember the first year I raced here, I took pictures of the entrance. I was taking pictures. I hoped one day to race here in May.

Fernando Alonso on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

Winning is always a great feeling, but winning at your home track, a place that you grew up at and a place that helped you fall in love with the sport of IndyCar racing... this is priceless.

Graham Rahal on winning at Mid-Ohio, Instagram, August 3rd 2015

It's the biggest race in the world. It's not supposed to be easy.

Marcus Ericsson on The Indianapolis 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 2023

My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.

Off to heat yoga with @PitFitTraining. Gonna be sweating like a rapist.

I am a connoisseur of information!

We're all back to square zero!

James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014

I am stupid.

Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020

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 wall came too close and too quickly.

Fernando Alonso after crashing in practice, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 15th 2019

I arrived in Turn 1 and I was convinced that I was doing flat out, but the foot was not flat - it had its own life, it was not connected to my brain at that moment.

Fernando Alonso on Turn 1 commitment at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

Having a pulse should make you want to attend the 500.

James Hinchcliffe on what should make you want to attend the 500, via Twitter, April 2012

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