I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.
Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016

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
Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.

I WILL win at Kentucky.

Gentlemen... restart your engines!

If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.

Helio lives for this. This is his passion. He loves Indy.

I hope all the fans out there were as excited about that race as I am. It was awesome doing so much passing. Racing can't get any better!

Rick Mears, Motorsport.com, September 15th 2016
