That's a good way to lose a championship.

Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007

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

Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007

I am stupid.

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

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 was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.

Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007

When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.

Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007

It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.

Dan Wheldon, Homestead test 2007

You've only seen me smile here.

Romain Grosjean on being in IndyCar, after the GMR Grand Prix, IMS, May 15th 2021

Broke a glass at a restaurant. Apologize to the waiter, he looks at me, says "Accidents happen. YOU know what I mean!"

James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015

Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.

Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007

The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.

Buddy Lazier on the Indy 500

I don't know him at all. Is he in his own little world?

Kevin Lee on Jacques Villeneuve, Trackside, August 2012

...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

I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.

Kurt St. Angelo on the IndyCarFanZone fantasy league, Twitter, September 14th 2022

The Indy 500 is one of the greatest events in the sport. Drivers all over the world know this. I belong there. Because I'm a racer.

Fernando Alonso on The Indy 500, The Players Tribune, May 18th 2017

...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

It's a new... track... record!

Tom Carnegie

I love this championship and everything it represents. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to be here. I wouldn't want to have it any other way.

Alexander Rossi on IndyCar, The Indy Star, September 14th 2018

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

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

We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!

Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016

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

Marty Roth, Indy Bump Day 2007

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

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

Eddie Cheever Jr.

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

It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

Sam Hornish Jr. on winning the 90th Indy 500

What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.

Bobby Rahal on the benefits of a spec series, Racer.com, May 18th 2016

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

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

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

That was the hairiest day I've ever had.

Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

I was a craft beer and a wallet chain away from being a hipster!

James Hinchcliffe on beard growth, Tim and Sid's Plays of the Week, September 14th 2015

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

We are unified.

Terry Angstadt, February 22nd 2008

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

Alexander Rossi on another wild race at Portland, via Twitter, September 13th 2021

I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big

Jay Frye on the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019

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

Tony Stewart, May 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

Last season, we lost the championship in the last corner of the last lap of the last race to some other guy.

Chip Ganassi, Daytona 2008

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

Not bad for a part timer ;o)

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

That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!

Tom Sneva

Fernando Alonso on the difference between an IndyCar and an F1 car, May 3rd 2017

I've never been so happy to be in last place.

Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

I get one more opportunity to head into the defining racing venue of my career with a single, achievable goal: Win.

Danica Patrick on her final Indy 500, The Players' Tribune, May 15th 2018

This is a huge day for the IndyCar Series and for our sport as a whole, for sure.

Michael Andretti, February 22nd 2008

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

This is and always will be the greatest spectacle in racing. This is the Indianapolis 500.

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

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.

Alex Tagliani, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

Wild thought. This 18th Indy 500 means I've been in IndyCar for exactly half of my life. 👀😅
